Renaissance Madonna. High: 18cm   This sculpture recreates one of the most beautiful Italian Renaissance paintings by Filippo Lippi. Rarely has so much delicacy and luminosity been concentrated in a single work. Her face is filled with the lyricism of music. One can sense that she is a beautiful woman both inside and out, and her headdress accompanies the goodness of her body and the beauty of her soul. She has a look as transparent and reflective as the cloth that falls from the back of her head and continues down her right shoulder. It is a work full of nostalgia and life, of reverie and beauty.
