About the sculpture
This relief in polychrome enamelled terracotta represents the sun from the upper left part of a Crucifixion altarpiece. It is made by Benedetto Buglioni (1459/60-1521) in Florence.
Benedetto Buglioni is said (Vasari) to have learned the art of enamelled terracotta from a woman employed in Andrea della Robbia's house. He appears to have worked in Florence at the same time as Andrea, but the products of his workshop are considered both technically and artistically inferior.
