Created between 1526 and 1528, this masterpiece is housed in the Ospedale del Ceppo in Pistoia, Italy.

The polychrome terracotta brings life to the scene, showcasing Buglioni's mastery in capturing human emotion and conveying a sense of empathy towards those less fortunate. The composition exudes a sense of humility and compassion that resonates with viewers across time. The delicate carving on wooden furniture adds to the authenticity and realism of the scene, transporting us back to Renaissance-era Italy. Buglioni's work not only showcases his artistic skill but also serves as a reminder of the importance of charity and kindness within Christian teachings.
