EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the exquisite terracotta sculpture of "Madonna and Child" attributed to Andrea della Robbia. Located in the sanctuary of Boccadirio, near Montepiano, Vernio, this masterpiece is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the High Renaissance period. The artwork itself dates back to the years between 1435 and 1528, reflecting both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Andrea della Robbia's mastery is evident in every delicate detail of this relief sculpture. The serene expression on Madonna's face exudes maternal love as she cradles baby Jesus tenderly in her arms. A seraphic angel hovers above them while a gentle dove rests nearby, symbolizing peace and purity. This scene portrays not only an intimate bond between mother and child but also carries deep religious significance from the New Testament. The photograph was taken around 1890 by Brogi from Alinari, capturing the essence of this timeless artwork for future generations to admire. It serves as a reminder that art transcends time and space, allowing us to connect with historical periods that shaped our society today. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to Europe during the first and second millenniums AD when artists like Della Robbia flourished under patronage from various societal factions. Their works became reflections of their times - expressions of faith intertwined with political influences. Let us cherish this remarkable image as it encapsulates not only physical beauty but also emotional depth through its portrayal of affection between mother and child – an enduring theme throughout human history.
