Donatello, madonna col bambino.JPG

Madonna and Child is a c. 1440 painted terracotta relief attributed to Donatello of the Madonna and Child that is now in the Louvre.[1]

Ludwig Goldscheider states in his book Donatello, “There are no Madonna reliefs that can be accepted with perfect confidence as having been chiseled by Donatello” [2](Not that chisels would have been used to make a terracotta relief.)
