EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite marble sculpture titled "Madonna del Latte" created by Antonio Rossellino in 1478. The artwork can be found at Santa Croce in Florence, Italy, and is a true masterpiece of the Renaissance period. In this low relief bas-relief, we see the Virgin Mary tenderly cradling baby Jesus while an angel hovers nearby. The artist skillfully captures the bond between mother and child, emphasizing their divine connection through his meticulous attention to detail. The Madonna of the Milk, as she is also known, radiates serenity and grace with her serene expression and gentle touch. Both Mary and Jesus are adorned with halos symbolizing their sacred status. Surrounding them are cherubic putti who add a sense of innocence and playfulness to the scene. Rossellino's mastery lies not only in his ability to sculpt lifelike figures but also in his use of mandorla - an almond-shaped aureole that encircles Mary's figure - which further emphasizes her holiness. This print beautifully captures every intricate aspect of this remarkable artwork by Raffaello Bencini. It allows us to appreciate the artistry behind Rossellino's creation while providing a glimpse into one of Florence's most treasured artistic treasures from centuries past.
