Fragment from a Cassone Panel 'Shooting at Father's Corpse'

Executed in tempera, the work exhibits visible brushstrokes and subtle color variations, adding depth and texture to the composition. The style reflects Zoppo's training under Lippo Dalmasio and influence from Francesco Squarcione's workshop.

Created in 1462, the fragment is associated with Zoppo's circle, which included notable artists Andrea Mantegna and later pupil Francesco Francia. Its original context was as part of a cassone, a type of decorated chest popular in 15th-century Italy.

The piece belongs to a series of cassone panels, a common format in 15th-century Italian decorative arts, used to narrate dramatic scenes on household furniture.
