PROBABLY AFTER LORENZO GHIBERTI. MADONNA AND CHILD

Madonna and Child. Artist: Probably after Lorenzo Ghiberti (Italian, Florence 1378-1455 Florence). Culture: Italian, Florence. Dimensions: Overall: 34 1/2 × 28 1/2 in. (87.6 × 72.4 cm). Date: ca. 1425-40.
This composition is apparently a variant of another Madonna relief which Ghiberti designed specifically to be molded and reproduced in painted stucco. See 08.22.3 for a painted stucco version of that composition. The type of base derives from the niche of the Parte Guelfa on Or San Michele by Donatello, finished in 1423. See 07.120.3 for a terracotta version of this composition.
