The garland decorating the altarpiece is held by two putti in a manner similar to the one carved in marble by Desiderio da Settignano for the Marsuppini Monument in Santa Croce (c. 1453). Andrea's son, Giovanni della Robbia, also applied this solution in his early work of 1498, the Lavabo in Santa Maria Novella. |
