EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Andrea Della Robbia, a renowned Italian sculptor from the Renaissance period. Titled "Virgin and Child" this polychrome glazed terracotta masterpiece is a testament to Della Robbia's exceptional talent and craftsmanship. The image captures the tender moment between Mary, the Virgin Mother, and her divine child Jesus Christ. The artist skillfully portrays their bond through intricate details and lifelike expressions. Mary's serene face radiates love and devotion as she cradles baby Jesus in her arms. Surrounding them are celestial beings in the form of angels, cherubs, and putti. These ethereal figures add an element of heavenly beauty to the composition. Adorned with delicate wings and sweet expressions, they seem to be offering their blessings to this sacred scene. Intriguingly, fruits are scattered around Mary and Jesus - symbolizing abundance, fertility, and spiritual nourishment. This inclusion adds depth to the artwork by alluding to biblical themes such as Adam and Eve's expulsion from paradise or Christ's role as the new Adam who brings salvation. With its vibrant colors preserved through polychrome glazing techniques on terracotta material, this piece exemplifies Della Robbia's mastery in creating visually stunning sculptures that evoke profound emotions within viewers. Displayed at Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this timeless work continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide with its beauty that transcends time itself.
