AGOSTINO DI DUCCIO: Virgin and Child

🖼 Virgin and Child, c. 1450
Glazed terracotta
Perugia, Italy

Tender marble relief captures the Virgin's gentle gaze upon the Christ Child, rendered with delicate linear grace and subtle modeling. This mid-15th-century work exemplifies Florentine Renaissance refinement, blending classical restraint with intimate devotional warmth that influenced Umbrian religious art.
