The Funeral Monument to John XXIII, also known as the Tomb of Antipope John XXIII, is a notable sculptural work by the Italian Renaissance master Donatello, located in the Battistero di San Giovanni (Florence Baptistery) in Florence, Italy. Commissioned by the executors of the will of Baldassare Cossa, who had been elected as Antipope John XXIII during the Western Schism, the monument is a significant example of early Renaissance funerary art.

Completed in the 1420s, the monument is a wall tomb that features a combination of sculpture and architecture. The design includes a sarcophagus supported by pilasters, with a relief of the deceased lying in state, and an upper register that showcases a Madonna and Child flanked by angels. The effigy of John XXIII is particularly noted for its realistic depiction of the human form and the serene expression of the deceased, which was a departure from the more rigid and stylized representations of the medieval period.

Donatello's work on the monument is characterized by his innovative use of perspective and his mastery of both marble carving and bronze casting. The monument's architectural elements are harmoniously integrated with the sculptural components, creating a unified composition that enhances the overall aesthetic and emotional impact of the piece.

The Funeral Monument to John XXIII is an important work in the oeuvre of Donatello and is often studied for its artistic and historical significance. It reflects the changing attitudes towards death and commemoration during the Renaissance, as well as the evolving styles of representation that would come to define the period. The monument remains a testament to Donatello's skill and creativity, and it continues to attract scholarly attention and public interest as a masterpiece of Renaissance art.
