Italy / 1880 / Artwork Madonna with Child / Antonio Rossellino / plaster / Baroque
Large bas relief of Madonna with child in plaster. The depictions of the Virgin with Child by the Florentine Renaissance sculptor Antonio Rossellino count among his most popular inventions. Next to autograph works executed in marble they were copied dus to the great demand for such works in the much cheaper stucco.
Seated on a heavenly throne, with three lively angels behind her-two at left, one at right-the Virgin holds the Christ Child in a gentle, protective embrace.
Shown in a three-quarter pose, she supports the infant underneath his shoulder with her right hand, steadying him as he sits on her lap. The Christ Child places his right foot on his mother's left wrist, and rests his toes on her embroidered cuff. Mother and son look in different directions, with the Christ Child casting his gaze on the viewer directly below. A masterpiece of Florentine Renaissance devotional sculpture.
This large and impressive artwork has small signs of wear that are normal for its age (see pictures) but is in an overall good condition.
