Madonna with Child 1410

Filippo Brunelleschi, renowned for his architectural achievements, also produced this early Renaissance sculpture, "Madonna with Child," dated 1410. The sculpture showcases the artist's transition from Gothic to Renaissance style, characterized by a more naturalistic and expressive approach to human forms. The Virgin Mary, draped in a flowing robe, holds the Christ Child in her arms, their gentle interaction conveying a sense of maternal love. The work's simple yet elegant composition and realistic detailing reflect the evolving artistic sensibilities of the time.
