🖼 Madonna del Carmine, 1465-80
Marble
83 × 68 cm

Delicate relief carving depicts the Madonna cradling the Christ Child, their forms emerging softly from marble with graceful, flowing lines. Agostino's tender composition exemplifies Florentine Renaissance humanism, balancing classical restraint with intimate maternal warmth that influenced devotional imagery for generations.
