GIOVANNI DI BALDUCCIO
(active 1315-1349)

Virgin and Child

1328
Carrara marble, height 36 cm
Museum of Art, Philadelphia

This sculpture comes from the upper section of a tomb monument made for the son of the Pisan ruler Castruccio Castracani. Because the piece was some 6 m high, the sculptor concentrated on the contours of the figures and their deeply cut drapery, and gave only minimal attention to details.
