About the sculpture
This group showing three angels singing is made by Benedetto Buglioni in the late 15th to early 16th century in Italy.
The group most likely formed part of a composition of the Nativity, being the group of angels conventionally placed in the upper part of the composition, singing the 'Gloria in excelsis'.
Benedetto Buglioni was the son of the sculptor Giovanni di Bernardo (1429/30 – ca. 1510) and possibly a pupil of Andrea Verrocchio. He also probably worked with Andrea della Robbia whose glazing techniques he learnt. In the early 1480 he opened his own shop, producing work in the style of della Robbia, Verrocchio, Antonio Rossellino, or Benedetto da Maiano.
