Panel with the Madonna enthroned,Child and two angels holding the curtain
Giovanni di Balduccio (attrib.)1342-1345 approx.
Sforzesco Castle
Milan, Italy
The panel with the Madonna enthroned, the Child and two angels
holding the curtain, part of the sarcophagus of Uberto III Visconti in the
church of Sant'Eustorgio in Milan (1342-1345), is representative of the work of
Giovanni di Balduccio from Pisa (documented 1318 to 1349) who was active in Milan
between 1334-1335 and 1349. Evident here are the elegant refinements typical of
Tuscan sculpture of the period and the increasingly free and natural rendering
of the human figure.
