Garland with Virgin and Son, Jubilee Collection

The round panel Garland with Virgin and Son from the Jubilee Collection is a terracotta artwork that revives a highly valued artistic tradition typical of the Della Robbia workshop. Designed in a circular shape for hanging, the piece features a dual-ring composition: in the inner circle, the Virgin is seated with the Child standing on her lap, while the outer circle is adorned with a garland of fruit, leaves, and lilies framing the sacred scene.

The group of the Virgin and Child is set at the center of a natural wreath, evoking harmony between the sacred nature of the subject and the beauty of the natural world. The inspiration from the molded reliefs of the renowned Renaissance Della Robbia workshop is evident, giving rise to an interpretation that blends symbolism with artistic excellence. The piece conveys a sense of serenity and peace, with gentle features that connect the sacred subject to the symbolic richness of the surrounding natural elements, creating a composition of rare harmony. This item is also available in a larger version.

Original Della Robbia works were crafted in glazed terracotta, a material with a colorful, glossy finish that gave their pieces a unique brilliance. While the Garland with Virgin and Son does not use the traditional colored glaze, the terracotta retains the quality of the original tradition, featuring a textured, grainy surface that lends the piece a distinctive character. This artisanal craftsmanship adds depth, warmth, and a natural feel. The terracotta highlights the beauty and serenity of the sacred subject and the fruit garland, making it a timeless piece that enhances any environment.

An ideal gift with profound cultural and symbolic value. Its Tuscan craftsmanship makes it a unique keepsake, cherished for its ability to celebrate Italian heritage, particularly during spiritually significant occasions such as the Jubilee.
