🖼 Pazzi Madonna, 1420-30s
Marble

Tender intimacy emerges through marble relief as mother and child exchange gentle gazes, rendered with unprecedented naturalism and delicate linear perspective. Donatello's revolutionary technique pioneered Renaissance portrayal of human emotion, transforming religious imagery through psychological depth and classical restraint.
