Virgin Mary and Child with St. John
Benedetto da Maiano (bottega) XV sec. d.C.This stucco bas-relief is painted with a colouring that alludes to the veining of marble, while the framing of the figurative tile is reminiscent of porphyry. The prototype is to be found in a work by Benedetto da Maiano at the beginning of the 16th century, and this is a production from his workshop, almost a serial work, as the other version, also on display here, in polychrome stucco, demonstrates. Both set in a painted poplar tabernacle are common to the domestic devotional furnishings typical of the 15th century.
