Virgin by Desiderio da Settignano, Jubilee Collection

The Virgin by Desiderio da Settignano, from the Jubilee Collection, is a refined terracotta panel that extraordinarily captures the essence of Renaissance art, inspired by the techniques of the greatest sculptors of the time. Depicting the Madonna with the Child in an elegant half-figure bas-relief, the work follows the Florentine “stiacciato” style, a refined technique used by masters like Donatello and Rossellino, which gives the piece surprising depth while maintaining a relatively flat surface.

What makes this work unique is the delicacy of the expressions: the Virgin’s maternal gesture and the Child’s innocence emerge with extraordinary sensitivity. The treatment of the terracotta, which highlights the artist’s craftsmanship, accentuates the nuances and light, creating a warm and enveloping effect characteristic of Impruneta terracotta, renowned for its beauty and durability.

This panel is not just a masterpiece of Renaissance sacred art, but also a profound symbol of Christian spirituality. It is ideal for enriching sacred and residential spaces, representing a sign of protection and maternal love, evoking sincere emotions and celebrating the great Italian artistic tradition.

Perfect for decorating both indoor and outdoor spaces, the Virgin of Settignano enhances any environment with a sense of beauty and spirituality. Easy to install, it fits elegantly on fireplaces, terraces, exposed walls, and niches. The anchoring options are versatile, from wire to decorative passementerie, while the ability to customize the panel with colors and painted details makes it a unique and refined choice, adding a touch of tradition and class to any setting.

A tribute to the artistic and spiritual tradition of Tuscany, this panel is ideal for decorating churches, chapels, hospitals, and places of care. It is also a perfect gift for communions, confirmations, and other special occasions, enriching the environment with deep cultural and symbolic value. The Tuscan craftsmanship makes it a unique gift, destined to be cherished and preserved over time, celebrating Italian cultural heritage, particularly during moments of spiritual renewal, such as the Jubilee.
