🖼 Shrine of the Madonna della Tosse, 1484
Transferred fresco
Castelfiorentino, Italy

Golden light bathes a modest shrine nestled in landscape, rendered with Gozzoli's characteristic soft brushwork and luminous detail. This intimate devotional image exemplifies late Quattrocento Tuscan piety, documenting local religious practice and architectural vernacular of rural Florence.
