Madonna und Kind mit Engeln

ca. 1455–60
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 604
Der Florentiner Antonio Rossellino war einer der begabtesten Marmorbearbeiter seiner Generation, zu der auch Mino da Fiesole und Desiderio da Settignano gehörten. Dieses sensible Relief, das für den privaten Gottesdienst erstellt wurde, ist eine seiner frühen Arbeiten. Die Jungfrau sitzt auf einem sorgfältig ausgearbeiteten Thron mit hochgekrempelten Ärmeln im Hochrelief. Sowohl sie als auch das Christuskind in ihren Armen scheinen seltsam niedergeschlagen, vielleicht denken sie über das zukünftige Leid Christi nach. Die schützende, liebevolle Geste der linken Hand der Jungfrau ist besonders ergreifend. Die Hauptfiguren heben sich gegen eine reiche Vielfalt an Oberflächendetails ab – wirbelnde Engelsflügel, horizontale Wolken, ein verzierter Thron und vergoldete Passagen.
