SANSOVINO, Jacopo: Madonna and Child

🖼 Madonna and Child, 1534
Marble, height 125 cm
Arsenale
Venice, Italy

Tender intimacy radiates through soft modeling and gentle curves as Madonna cradles the Christ Child in warm embrace. Sansovino's marble relief exemplifies High Renaissance humanism, transforming religious narrative into deeply personal, touchable devotion that influenced Venetian sculptural tradition.
