A moving depiction of Our Lady and the Infant Christ, this elegant plaque is crafted in traditional della Robbia style. In 15th C. Florence, Luca della Robbia was renowned for his extraordinary sculptures in terra cotta. His technique allowed him to fire ceramic surfaces with special reactive glazes, producing incredible detail and gorgeous color contrast. His traditional blue and white della Robbia sculptures of sacred Catholic history adorned many homes, churches, and chapels. This arched plaque, in that same style, features the Florentine accents characteristic of his art form. White, patterned architectural details highlight the scene, where Our Lady tenderly holds the Newborn King. The brilliant blue background provides striking contrast. Sacred art for your home, parish, school, or retreat center that will draw you to prayer and meditation.
