Description:
|
|
The work was created by Antonio Rossellino after 1478, the year in which the client Francesco Nori, head of the Medici bank, died saving the life of Lorenzo de ’Medici during the bloody Pazzi Conspiracy. The floor tomb is at the foot of the first southern column in the basilica; mounted to it are a small base surround, a holy water font with bronze candelabra, and a marble relief that rises vertically like an altarpiece. The Madonna and Child are depicted against a mandorla of red porphyry. Rising behind this is a finial-topped, tent-like drape with a fine bas-relief that actually replicates a pattern of velvet brocade in use at the time. The work is popularly known as the Madonna del latte, although reasons for the title are not clear. (Source: Santa Croce in Florence [website, blog]; https://santacrocein florence.wordpress.c om/)
