Description:
|
The della Robbia workshop production of tin-glazed terracotta (founded by Luca) developed considerably in the second half of the 15th century. Their wide range of products included church furnishings (tabernacles, pulpits, fonts, lavabos), architectural elements (niches, cornices, friezes, corbels, pavements), stemmi and decorative objects (vases and baskets of fruit, mirrors). Above all there were altarpieces and relief sculptures for private devotions, representing the Virgin and Child and the Adoration, framed by cherubim or garlands. The museum label attributes this to Andrea della Robbia; elsewhere it is listed as by Luca. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
