Madonna and Child with Scroll in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007

Madonna and Child with Scroll in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007
Luca della Robbia
Italian, Florentine, 1399/1400-1482
"Madonna and Child with Scroll"
Glazed terracotta

Accession # 14.40.685

Luca della Robbia is famous especially for having brought the glazed terracotta technique to sculpture. This quiet, monumental composition shows him at the height of his lyric powers and is dated to about 1455. The Virgin's head was modeled and glazed separately from the rest.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
