“Madonna with Child and Angels” by Andrea della Robbia, 1505
Cathedral of Saint Zeno
Piazza del Duomo
Pistoia, May 2022
“Between 1379 and 1440 the façade was reconstructed with the addition of three tiers of loggias and a portico. In 1504 Andrea della Robbia was commissioned to undertake the decoration of the archivolt (for which he created a festoon with plant themes and, in the middle, the crest of the Opera di San Jacopo), of the portico as well as of the lunette with bas-reliefs over the central portal, depicting the ‘Madonna with Child and Angels’. He finished the works in 1505.” (Pistoia Cathedral, Wikipedia)
