Virgin and Child

This relief, made by an unknown sculptor probably in France in the late 19th century, reproduces the Chellini Madonna by Donatello. It is probably copied from the bronze version now in the Kress Collection in the National Gallery in Washington (previously in the Dreyfus Collection in Paris).

Donatello (1386-1466) was an early Renaissance sculptor and artist from Florence, who became well known for his bas-relief works, which already incorporated perspective illusionism. He was the most imaginative and versatile of the early Renaissance artists, famous for his rendering of human character and for his dramatic narratives.
