Bust of Christ 

This terracotta bust of Christ, by Andrea del Verrocchio, is a powerful and moving example of Renaissance sculpture. Verrocchio, a master of realism and detail, captured the spiritual essence of Christ in his serene yet sorrowful expression. The flowing hair and beard are rendered with meticulous detail, while the worn, polychrome surface adds to the sculpture's ancient and devotional feel. This work showcases Verrocchio's talent for capturing both physical and emotional truth in his art, and it exemplifies the renewed interest in classical sculpture that characterized the Renaissance.
