Om skulpturen
This stucco relief, representing the Virgin and Child, is probably based on a composition by the Florentine fifteenth-century sculptor Benedetto da Maiano.
Images of the Virgin and Child were found in virtually every household in fifteenth-century Florence. They acted as a focus for personal devotion and were thought to protect the family from harm. This example is made of stucco. Since many duplicates could be cast from a single mould, it would have been relatively inexpensive.
