In composing this wall tomb for the Basilica of Santa Croce, Desiderio relied upon the precedent set only a few years earlier in Bernardo Rossellino's Tomb of Leonardo Bruni.

In fact, in his design for the tomb, Desiderio was paying homage to Bernardo's example in much the same fashion as Marsuppini did when he had composed the epitaph for the Bruni Tomb.

What sets the Bruni tomb apart and established it as the " standard " upon which so many subsequent later Renaissance tombs were based ( including that for Carlo Marsupini executed a few years later for Santa Croce by Bernardo's probable pupil, Desiderio da Settignano ) was its sense of unity.

According to Vasari, the statue stood on a column designed by Desiderio da Settignano in the middle of the courtyard of the Palazzo Medici ; an inscription seems to have explained the statue's significance as a political monument: " Victor est quisquis patriam tuetur / Frangit immanis Deus hostis iras / En puer grandem domuit tiramnum / Vincite cives " ( The victor is whoever defends the fatherland.

For his Tabernacle of the Sacrament, Desiderio returned ( as he earlier had done for the Marsuppini Tomb ) to a prototype originated by his probable master, Bernardo Rossellino.

Desiderio matriculated into Florence's Guild of Stone and Woodworkers in 1453 and shortly thereafter already was supplying cherub head medallions for the frieze running across the front of the Pazzi Chapel in the second cloisteryard of the Basilica of Santa Croce.

The second work, Memoriale Desiderio Animae de Gestis et Verbis Sanctissimi Patris Nostri Francisci (" The Memorial of the Desire of a Soul Concerning the Deeds and Words of Our Most Holy Father Francis " often just called the " Second Life ") was commissioned by Crescentius of Jessi, the Minister General of the Franciscan Order sometime between 1244 and 1247, and reflects changing official perspectives on Francis in the decades after his death.

Desiderio da Settignano, real name Desiderio de Bartolomeo di Francesco detto Ferro ( c. 1428 or 1430 – 1464 ) was an Italian sculptor active during the Renaissance.

This time, Desiderio found his inspiration in Rossellino's c. 1450 tabernacle for the chapel of the Women's Hospital of Santa Maria Nuovo ( now in San Egidio ).

What Desiderio produced is unquestionably one of the most decoratively delightful examples of early Renaissance sculpture.
