Madonna with Child

The Italian Renaissance was a time of artistic re-birth and innovation which has yet to be repeated. One of these innovations was made by the sculptor Lucca della Robbia of Florence. He discovered and perfected the technique of galzing terracotta and applied it to his already famous reliefs of Madonna and Child. What resulted was instant success for his work, and a ceramic dynasty still alive in Italy today. This Madonna and Child is hand-cast in molds long-preserved from this dynasty and hand-painted using the original Della Robbia innovative techniques. A universal symbol of love and family, this Madonna is not only a piece of history, but a vibrant work of art.
