Virgem e o Menino com os anjos

ca. 1455–60
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 604
O florentino Antonio Rossellino foi um dos melhores gravadores de mármore de sua geração, que incluiu nomes como Mino da Fiesole e Desiderio da Settignano. Este relevo delicado, feito para ser usado como um objeto de culto privado, foi um de seus primeiros trabalhos. A Virgem está sentada em um elaborado trono, cujos braços terminados em volutas, emergem em alto-relevo. A Virgem e o Menino nos braços parecem estranhamente tristes, talvez porque contemplam os sofrimentos futuros de Cristo. São especialmente comoventes os gestos de carinho e de proteção que a Virgem faz com a mão esquerda. As duas figuras principais são destacadas a partir do fundo ornado com uma grande variedade de detalhes—asas de anjos voando em espiral, nuvens vaporosas horizontais, um trono ornamentado e faixas douradas.
