Medici Madonna, between Sts Cosmas and Damian

1521-31
Marble

This marble group consists of a Madonna and Child and the Medici patron saints Cosmas and Damian. The Madonna is completely by Michelangelo's own hand; the saints are the work of pupils (Montorsoli and Montelupo) after models by the master.
