Madonna and Child between Sts Cosmas and Damian

This early work is one of Andrea della Robbia's first altarpieces with a unitary composition, in which the images are enclosed by an architectural framework along strictly classical and Brunelleschian lines. The predella contains three scenes: Annunciation, Nativity, and Adoration of the Magi.
