The head of the original marble remains in Berlin.Francesco Laurana was born in Vrana, Dalmatia in the republic of Venice (now Croatia) in about 1420. He was one of a group of Dalmatian artists who worked abroad at the foreign courts. Only rediscovered in the nineteenth-century, attempts to trace Laurana
