NANNI DI BARTOLO
(active 1419-1435)

Virgin and Child

1420-23
Stucco
Museo Stibbert, Florence

A group of terracotta and stucco figures attributed to Nanni combines features taken from Ghiberti with the rhythmic quality of Donatello's early works. This includes the Virgin and Child (Cenacolo di Ognissanti, Florence), the beautiful Virgin and Child Enthroned (Kaiser Wilhelm Museum, Krefeld) and five stucco versions of the Virgin and Child (e.g. Museo Stibbert, Florence), presumably made from the same prototype.
