Über die Skulptur
This relief appears to have been moulded from an unidentified original in the style of Benedetto da Maiano. Analogies with the Virgin and Child above the altar of Santa Fina (Collegiata, San Gimignano), completed prior to 1475, suggest a dating in the 1470s.
Images of the Virgin and Child were found in virtually every noble household in 15th-century Florence. They acted as a focus for personal devotion and were thought to protect the family from harm.
Images of the Virgin and Child were believed to have talismatic and protective properties. Some compositions, particularly those associated with miracle-working images, became very popular and were widely reproduced.
