| Keywords: Lazzaro Giosafatti - Madonna and Child with Angels - Walters 27376 - Detail.jpg A drapery has been pulled back to reveal the Virgin Mary standing inside a chapel tenderly holding her infant son In this sophisticated combination of high and low relief the actual light in the room creates shaded drapery folds The illusionism of the relief as in the leg of the angel that extends into the viewer's space is indebted to trends in earlier baroque sculpture but here the impression is much airier the Virgin's wavy draperies almost seem to move upwards Giosafatti would have learned this style while working in Rome where the influence of Gian Lorenzo Bernini remained strong This is possibly a model for a larger work in stone or stucco that is now lost 1757 Baroque terracotta cm 80 7 46 5 accession number 27 376 28610 Don Marcello Massarenti Collection Rome date and mode of acquisition unknown Henry Walters city Baltimore Walters Art Museum Henry Walters Acquired by Henry Walters with the Massarenti Collection 1902 place of origin Rome Italy Walters Art Museum license Baroque sculpture in the Walters Art Museum Lazzaro Giosafatti Media contributed by the Walters Art Museum needs category review Madonna and Child Media contributed by the Walters Art Museum needs artist update | ||||
