Description:
|
|
As Vasari noted, in the Madonna relief Michelangelo imitated and challenged the example of Donatello. This indicates that even Michelangelo experimented in the work of his early maturity. Throughout his late teens and twenties, he also traveled a great deal and worked for a larger range of clients than at any other time in his life. It is believed that this panel slightly predates his other early work, the Battle of the Centaurs (1490-1492). (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
