Madonna Col Bambino 

"Madonna Col Bambino" is a terracotta relief by the Florentine sculptor Desiderio da Settignano, a prominent artist of the Early Renaissance. This artwork depicts the Virgin Mary, adorned with a halo, holding the Christ Child. Settignano's signature style is evident in the delicate modeling of the figures, particularly the Madonna's gentle features and the child's cherubic face. The work exhibits a refined realism and emotional depth characteristic of the period. The relief is likely a devotional piece intended for private contemplation or a domestic chapel, reflecting the growing appreciation for intimate religious imagery in 15th-century Italy.
