Experte: Prof. Giancarlo Gentilini.

Dieses unbekannte Altarbild war bisher den Kunsthistorikern vorenthalten und stellt, wie Prof. Gentilini herleitet, eine unerwartete und wichtige Ergänzung zum bisher bekannten Werk von Andrea della Robbia dar. Es besticht durch seine komplexe Ausarbeitung, seine Größe, seine gelungene künstlerische Gestaltung, sowie seine gesamte technisch herausragende Modellierung.
Möglicherweise war das Werk als Wandaltar in einen steinernen Rahmen eingebettet. Eine derartige Arbeit schuf Andrea della Robbia um 1500 für die Capella della reliquia del Latte die Maria in der Coellegiata von Montevachi (heute im Museo d'Arte Sacra). Im Zentrum ist die Gottesmutter mit dem Kind und mit zwei schwebenden Engeln wiedergegeben. Ihr Ausdruck ist sanft entrückt. Sie hält das Jesuskind auf ihrem Arm. Die Nähe und Vergleichbarkeit mit anderen Arbeiten sowie die feine Ausarbeitung der Figuren hinsichtlich Ausdruck und Anatomie untermauern eine Zuschreibung an Andrea della Robbia.

MADONNA AND CHILD

145 x 66 cm.
Ca. 1500.
High relief with partial polychrome glazing.

Expert: Professor Giancarlo Gentilini.

This rediscovered altarpiece was not known to art historians until recently and, as Professor Gentilini remarks, it is a surprising and important addition to the recognised Å“uvre of Andrea della Robbia.
The painting's complex execution, its size, successful artistic composition and the technically outstanding modelling are impressive. The art work may have possibly been embedded into a stone frame as a wall altar. Andrea della Robbia created a work of this type in ca. 1500 for the Cappella della Reliquia del Latte di Maria at the Collegiata of Montevarchi (today held at the Museo d'Arte Sacra). The Mother of God is depicted at the centre with two angels. Her expression is soft and other-worldly. She holds the Christ Child in her arm.
The strong resemblance with other works by the artist as well as the execution of the figures' anatomy and expressions underpin the attribution to Andrea della Robbia.
