EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite relief sculpture titled "Pier Francesco Visconti, Court of Saliceto, Adoring the Christ Child" created shortly after 1484. Originally part of a public funerary monument in the renowned church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Milan, this masterpiece is now housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art. The image captures Pier Francesco Visconti, a prominent military leader and diplomat, as he humbly kneels before the infant Christ. Rendered in profile and set within a naturalistic backdrop, this sculpture emphasizes both the humanity of the Holy Family and Visconti's deep reverence for them. Crafted by Benedetto Briosco or his workshop during Italy's vibrant 15th century art scene, this marble relief features delicate gilding that adds an ethereal glow to its surface.
