Three women, a man, child, and four winged angels are carved in relief on a panel to occupy a shallow space in this white marble sculpture. The group fills the panel, which is square on the bottom and comes to a triangular point at the top. The people have narrow, almost slitted eyes, straight noses, and thin lips. One of the women, Mary, sits on a throne at the center holding a child, Jesus, who stands one of her knees. Mary wears a crown, and her robes drape to the floor. One hand wraps around Jesus’s torso. He holds something down by his side with one hand and reaches the other up with the first two fingers raised toward a woman, Queen Sancia, who kneels in the lower left corner of the panel. Mary reaches her other arm out to touch Queen Sancia’s head as well. The queen and others in the scene are smaller in scale than Mary. Queen Sancia faces our right in profile as she looks at Jesus with her arms crossed over her chest. She and the woman standing behind her both wear veils that cover their foreheads, chins, and necks. The standing woman touches Queen Sancia’s shoulder with one hand and holds the other to her own chest. A man standing on Mary’s other side, in the lower right corner, wears a hooded robe and holds a book and a cross. He has a beard, and his hair is cut into a ring around his head. Winged angels stand with hands held across their chests behind the man and Queen Sancia. Two more angels hold up a cloth behind Mary and Jesus. The edges of the panel are carved to resemble molding.

The sculpture is a bust of a young girl with her hair styled in a bun with a simple headband. We see her from the chest up, and her torso faces us while her head looks over her shoulder to the left. The girl's expression is neutral, and she has round cheeks, a small nose, faint eyebrows, and a small chin. The material of the sculpture is a light pink-tan color, and it is mounted on a worn wooden pedestal.

The sculpture depicts a nude male figure crouching with his knees bent and hands behind him. His head is turned to the left with a slightly pained or strained expression. The sculpture is made of a dark material, likely bronze, giving it a polished, dark brown color with subtle variations that accentuate the muscular details of the figure. The material reflects light, highlighting the contours and features of the man's body. The figure rests on a rectangular, stepped base that is also of the same brown material. The proportions are realistic, and the details such as the curly hair and defined musculature add a lifelike quality to the sculpture.

Carved from cream-white alabaster stone, this free-standing sculpture shows an armored knight sitting atop a horse, which straddles a curled up, snarling dragon in front of a kneeling person. In this photograph, the bodies of the horse and man face our left in profile. The dragon is pinned on its back with its head under the horse’s mouth. There are some losses: the head of the kneeling person is gone, and parts of both of the knight’s arms are missing. The lance the knight holds and the sword at his hip are also fragmented. The knight leans forward with his right arm, farther from us, raised and a shield with a red cross is affixed to the opposite upper arm. His pointed, rounded helmet is lined with chain mail around the chin and neck. Simple bands in gold, red, and black decorate the knight’s armor as well as the saddle and bridle on the horse. The horse looks down at the dragon underfoot, his chin pulled sharply back. The dragon is painted burgundy red, and has a large head with a gaping mouth filled with sharp teeth and fangs. Claws tear at the horse’s legs as the knight drives the lance into the dragon’s body. The creature’s black wings are pinned under its body, and its dotted tail curls up between the hind legs. To our left, near the dragon and horse's heads, the kneeling person wears a gold-edged dress under a voluminous robe. One hand holds the black and gold striped band looping around the dragon’s neck, and the other is raised to that person’s chest. The stone under the people and animals is roughly carved, suggesting a rocky ground.

A seated man wearing a long robe and a crown has a crucifix in his lap in this free-standing, cream-white, alabaster sculpture. In this view, the seated man’s body faces us, and his arms are broken off beyond the elbow. He has short, wavy hair and a trimmed beard. His almond-shaped eyes are blank, and his lips are closed. His robe is deeply pleated and hangs in a U shape between his knees. A bird in flight, facing downward, hovers at his throat over the head of the crucified man. That man’s extended arms are also partially broken, but he hangs with his head tilted down to our left. He has a halo behind his long hair, and his mouth drops open. He is nude except for a loincloth across his hips. The crowned man sits on a base with a shield on the front center, but this area is worn.

The sculpture depicts the bust of a mythological figure resembling a satyr. It is crafted from ivory with distinct human and animalistic features including goat horns and a beard. The sculpture has a smooth texture showing subtly detailed features and drapery over one shoulder. It presents a three-dimensional relief within an oval-shaped, dark wooden frame that contrasts with the ivory. The subject is portrayed in profile, facing toward the left side of the frame, with an expression of lively curiosity directed slightly upward. The carving showcases the texture of the hair, facial features, and drapery folds, creating a sense of depth and texture in the work.

A crowned woman and the baby she holds on one hip are carved from white marble in this freestanding sculpture. The woman has a round face with a long nose and slightly smiling lips. Her long curly hair is parted down the middle and held back under a high crown made of spade-shaped acanthus leaves. A cloth covers her head and drapes over her shoulders and across her hips. Divots are carved along the lower hem of the cloth. The dress she wears underneath has three circular openings along the squared neckline, and pointy-toed shoes peek out from under the hem of the long skirt. She holds the stem of a now-broken frond in her right hand, to our left, by that hip. Her other hand supports the baby. He has a round face, short, wavy hair, wide-set eyes, chubby cheeks, a delicate nose, and his lips are parted. His torso is nude, and a cloth wraps around his hips and falls in folds around his bare feet. His left arm, to our right, is missing beyond the shoulder. He leans the other elbow against the woman’s chest, and the lower arm is missing beyond that. The sculpture is photographed against a pale gray background.

The sculpture depicts a nude figure in a dynamic, twisting pose. The figure has one knee bent as it crouches on a base. The right arm is raised and bent behind the head, while the left arm grasps a piece of draped fabric across the chest. The sculpture is rendered in a rich, brown material, likely a polished bronze. The figure’s head is turned slightly to the side, showing the facial features and hair, which is styled close to the scalp. The sense of movement is emphasized by the positioning of the limbs and the tension in the muscles. The sculpture stands on a round platform that appears to be part of the same material.

This wooden, painted, free-standing sculpture is of a young woman standing and holding an open book with one hand and holding the other to her chest. The woman’s skin, gown, and long mantle are painted cream white. The mantle covers the back of her head and has a denim-blue lining visible in the folds around her shoulders, waist, and inside the hanging sleeves. It falls just below her knees and wraps around her long gown. The skirt below her knees has traces of brick red but much of the pigment there is lost. In this photograh, her body is angled to our right but she turns her head to look down in front of us with pale brown eyes. Wavy, brown hair is parted down the middle to frame her face. Her right hand, on our left, is raised to touch her chest while her other hand holds an open book at her waist, its pages facing outward. She stands on an octagonal wooden base painted gold. The surface of the sculpture is cracked, flaking, and worn in some areas, allowing the underlying wood to show through.

A person stands with hands together at the chest in this freestanding, painted wood sculpture. The person’s body faces us and the head turns and looks slightly down to our right in this photograph. Brown hair curls close to the head and down the back of the neck. The skin is ivory white. The almond-shaped eyes are faintly painted, and he has a straight, delicate nose and thin, slightly smiling pink lips. One hand touches his chest and the other is held in front, perhaps with thumbs touching, palm facing our right. White robes lined with indigo blue fall in cascading folds down his body over a rose-pink tunic, and both pool on the octagonal wood base. There are paint losses and small areas of damage throughout but is most noticeable at the bottom. The wood is cracked in the person’s hair.

Carved from white marble, the head and chest of a woman emerge from a base of rougher stone in this free-standing sculpture. In this photograph, the woman leans slightly to our left and her head tips down that way, as she looks off to our right. Her hair is loosely pulled up into a bun on top of her head. She has a straight nose, thin lips, and a square jaw. A bumpy area at the front of her low-cut bodice suggests a floral corsage. Her neck, the top of her shoulders, and her chest are polished smooth, but below the scooped neckline, the stone turns rough and parallel chisel marks are visible. Two dark veins in the marble run through the sculpture near each shoulder.

A woman sitting on a throne with a child on her lap and two angels are carved from white marble and decorated with a few areas of gold in this freestanding sculpture. All four people face us in this photograph, and they have round cheeks, square jawlines, and closed lips. Black dots are painted for pupils but without irises or other paint on their faces, they all look startled or intense. The woman wears a gold crown over a cloth that drapes over her head, shoulders, and across her lap. Her knees are apart, and pointed shoes peek out under the rippling hem of her dress. She braces the child’s torso with her left hand, to our right, and touches his upper leg with the other hand. The child’s adult-like face is framed by gold hair. He holds up one hand, though the fingers have been broken off, and holds an open book facing out propped on his leg with his other hand. Writing on the pages has been painted. Two child-like, wingless angels stand on the arms of the throne behind the woman’s shoulders and hold a cloth up behind her head. On all four people, their hair and the necklines, hems, and cuffs of their garments have been painted with gold geometric designs. The Latin text on the book reads, "CONTINET IN GERMIO CELV TERRA Q REGENTE VIRGO DEI GENETRIX MCCCXXI.”

In the bottom left corner of this rectangular relief sculpture, a bearded, bare-chested, muscular man with wavy hair lies lifeless, supported by a person with shoulder-length hair who is dressed in flowing garments. That person looks up over their shoulder at a man behind them, who has a long beard and appears to hold a pair of pliers. His brows are furrowed. On the right, a seated woman's head falls back, cradled by another woman with braided hair who stands behind her. The seated woman is dressed in flowing, draped cloth that also covers her head, and her right hand reaches out to grab the wrist of the limp man. Other people in the background engage in a variety of tasks, carrying ladders, hanging cloth, or holding a large urn. The entire sculpture is crafted from a smooth white material.

This freestanding, beige, terracotta bust shows the head and shoulders of a cleanshaven man, Giuliano de' Medici, wearing a suit of armor. The bust is straight across the bottom so it rests directly on the white surface on which it is photographed. In this view, the man’s shoulders are square to us, and he looks off to our right, chin lifted. His eyes are blank, and he has a bumped, aquiline nose and rounded cheeks. His lips are closed, the corners slightly pulled back. His thick, curly hair is cut to create an angle down from his eyebrows, on either side of his forehead, to the back of his neck. His breastplate has a high collar, and, at the front center, a man’s head is sculpted in relief with his mouth wide open, head flanked by upswept wings. The yelling man’s teeth and tongue are visible, and he has wavy hair and prominent ears. The pauldrons, the armor covering Giuliano's shoulders, and the rest of the breastplate are decorated geometric shapes and curved lines that end in sharp points.

Italian 19th Century · mid 19th century

Sculpted in painted terracotta, a woman is shown from the waist up, bracing a standing nude, plump baby boy. The woman, baby, and two winged heads floating to either side are sculpted in snow-white relief against a flat, cobalt-blue background, all contained within a round gold frame. The roundel is then framed within a rectangular wooden panel ornamented with gold and blue molding, rosettes, and leafy designs. The boy, woman, and winged heads all have plate-like halos, and their eyes have hazel-brown irises outlined in black. Within the round frame, the boy stands to our left of center, and his halo nearly reaches the top of the roundel. His body faces us as he stands on his right leg, to our left. That foot seems to rest on the ledge of the round frame, and he leans against the woman, to our right. He looks off over our left shoulder, his pursed lips set between chubby cheeks. With both pudgy hands, he holds onto the woman’s thumb or garment as she braces his torso. Her body is angled toward the boy, and she looks down and off in that direction. She has a straight nose, a pointed chin, delicate lips, and her thin eyebrows are black. Her wavy hair is parted down the middle and pulled back under a veil, and her long-sleeved garment falls in folds down her front. Her other hand wraps around the baby’s far hip. The winged baby heads hover at her shoulders, one to each side. The blue background has some bands of lighter and darker blue, suggesting a cloud-streaked sky. Gold rosettes fill the top corners between the round frame and the square panel into which it is set. Shield-like forms fill the lower corners. Fluted columns rise to either side of the central panel, and molding runs across the top and bottom. Some of the molding is painted gold, while other areas have gold, leafy patterns painted against the blue background.

A nude, muscular man with wings on his ankles balances on the toes of one foot as the other leg and one arm raise up, creating a spiral that moves from the toes of his weight-bearing foot to the top of his opposite, raised hand in this freestanding bronze sculpture. In this photograph, his body is angled to our left and he looks off over his right shoulder, farther from us, so we see his face in profile. He wears a smooth, dish-like helmet with wings to each side over short, curly hair. He has a long, straight nose, and his lips are parted. His right arm, farther from us, reaches high into the air with his index finger pointing upward. He holds a scepter tucked near his side with his other hand, closer to us. The staff is as tall as the man’s torso, and has two snakes entwined up its length with wings at the top. His right leg is raised behind him as he leans a bit forward over the other toes, which balance on a narrow wedge. The wedge is held in the mouth of a human head tipped back so it rests on the disk-like base.

This free-standing bronze sculpture is of a nude woman who reaches her left arm, on our right, across her body to hold a piece of drapery bunched at her opposite hip, while she holds a conch seashell in her other hand. In this photograph, her body faces us and she looks down and to our right. She has a straight nose, and her full lips are closed. Her long, wavy hair is gathered into a knot at the top of her head, and a few tendrils trail down her neck and shoulders. Her sloping shoulders frame round breasts, which are placed close together on her chest. Most of her weight is on her left leg, on our right, and her other knee is bent so she balances on the ball of that foot. This means her hips sway slightly to our right as her arms sweep to our left. She stands on a round, disk-like plinth on a veined, tan marble base. Light glints off the polished, deep brown bronze surface of the sculpture.

Venus

Milanese 16th Century (model attributed to Francesco Brambilla the Younger) · c. 1580/1590

This free-standing, white marble bust shows the head, shoulders, and upper chest of a young boy. In this photograph, the sculpture is angled to our right. The boy has full cheeks, a slightly upturned nose, and short, wavy hair. He stares straight ahead, his faint eyebrows slighty lifted. His loose garment drapes from his right shoulder, on our left, down and across his chest to just below his left shoulder.

A Little Boy

Desiderio da Settignano · 1455/1460

The sculpture depicts a bust of a young woman with a neutral expression and partially closed eyes. The woman's hair is styled back behind her head, with a few small curls around her ears. She has a straight nose, faint eyebrows, and thin lips which are slightly turned up at the edges. She wears a simple short-sleeved garment with a wide neckline above a triangular panel. The base of the sculpture is carved with small scenes of people on horseback and cherubic figures. The sculpture is made of a smooth white material with some areas of yellowish discoloration.

A Young Noblewoman

Style of Francesco Laurana · c. 1475 or later

Carved in high relief in white marble, a woman and the baby she holds are framed within a curved arch. The woman’s body faces us, but she turns her face to look down at the baby tucked into her left arm, to our right. The woman’s long hair is pulled back under a twisted band, and a few tendrils fall on her face. Her nose is pointed, and she has full lips over a narrow chin. Her dress is fastened on the chest with a button or brooch and is tied across the chest and high around the waist. The garment has elbow-length sleeves, and it falls in a swag across her hips over a long skirt that stops just short of her sandaled feet. The fabric is sheer so the nipple we can see is visible, and the fabric gathers in fine, shallow folds. Her other elbow is bent and held by her side, and the fingers on both hands are noticeably long. The child turns a chubby face up to the woman and crosses his hands over his chest. He is covered only by a cloth across his middle, and he has short, wavy hair. Pudgy rolls make creases on his neck, arms, and especially chunky thighs. The niche in which they stand has a fluted shell in the rounded portion above molding. The remaining niche is smooth, and the entire sculpture is set into a tan-colored wall.

Charity

Mino da Fiesole · 1475/1480

This square sculpture shows two people in profile, positioned close together. The person on the left has long hair and has their hands up in prayer. The person on the right is a child who appears to have a faint halo around their head. The material of the sculpture is cream-colored marble, with a smooth texture and veins of light gray running across surface. The carving on the surface lacks contrast from the background, making it difficult to see. The sculpture is positioned against a simple, light gray background.

Christ with Saint John the Baptist as Children

Imitator of Desiderio da Settignano · probably 1855/1860

The sculpture depicts a standing female figure dressed in flowing robes, holding a stick or staff in her right hand while her left hand grasps a part of her attire. She is positioned within a niche that features a scallop shell-like pattern surrounding her head. The sculpture is crafted from marble, giving it a smooth, white appearance with subtle grey veins. The figure is shown in a frontal pose, standing with feet slightly apart on a shallow ledge, while her head is tilted slightly downward, her eyes closed. The detailed drapery of the clothing and the expression on her face contribute to an overall sense of grace and tranquility.

Faith

Mino da Fiesole · 1475/1480

The sculpture depicts a relief featuring a central figure of a woman holding an infant. The woman is adorned with a halo around her head. She appears to be delicately interacting with the child, who rests in her embrace. Above them, an angel can be seen offering a bowl of fruit. The entire scene is crafted from light-colored marble, providing a soft appearance. Surrounding the figures is an ornately framed background with decorative motifs, such as floral designs on the sides and a circular emblem with wings below the main scene. The relief is relatively flat with a smooth surface that enhances the figures' contours and postures.

Madonna and Child

Florentine 19th Century · c. 1860

A woman and child are carved in low relief from a white marble, vertically oriented, rectangular panel, which is set within a painted wood frame. The woman’s body is angled to our right, and she looks down in that direction at the child seated on her lap. She has a long, delicate nose, a pointed chin, and her lips are closed. Her wavy hair is pulled back under a cloth that covers her heads and drapes over her shoulders. Her cloak waves in lively but shallow folds across the surface of the marble. She rests the long fingers of one hand on the baby’s shin and braces his side torso with the other. The nude boy has short, curly hair, round cheeks, chubby proportions, and his lips are parted. He holds a cylindrical object in one hand and reaches his right hand, to our left, to touch the woman’s clothing near her neckline. They both have flat, disk-like halos. The background is lightly carved to resemble an arched niche with leafy and geometric patterns and a leafy garland hanging from loops at the top corners. The marble panel is rounded at the top to encompass the woman’s halo and the top of her head. The frame is painted with stylized flowers and patterns in dark red, sky blue, ivory white, and black against a muted white background. Some of the stepped molding in the frame is gilded. A band across the top of the frame has roundels with two haloed women to either side and a nude baby carrying a cross over one shoulder, appearing to float against a blue background. Three roundels in a band below show women with long hair and halos, each holding objects like palm fronds, a plate, wheel, and a book.

Madonna and Child

Style of Agostino di Duccio · 1460s or later

This sculpture depicts a woman holding a small child. The woman has pale skin and reddish-blonde hair, and she is wearing a red gown with a blue cloak draped over her. A while veil is tied around her forehead and flows down over her hair. She holds the child in her arms, pressing it closely to her chest. The child also has pale skin and short, blond hair, and they are mostly nude, although the woman is holding a small tan cloth against their upper thighs. The woman stands barefoot on a small, round base.
