Madonna and Child c. 1475 - 1478

This marble relief sculpture, "Madonna and Child" was created by Antonio Rossellino between 1475 and 1478. The work depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, a common subject in Renaissance art that symbolizes the Christian faith. The piece is characterized by its realistic portrayal of the figures and the delicate details of the drapery. This work is a testament to Rossellino's skill in working with marble, creating a sense of depth and realism within the flat surface of the relief. The sculpture is a beautiful example of the Early Renaissance style in Florence.
