Document Summary

He was asked to carve this sculpture by a friend and was asked to carve the most beautiful work in rome. We look at this and are impressed by two things: size and beauty. The artwork is massive and the virgin looks young and gentle and she is monumental because she can embrace a full body of christ. It is a carved signature in latin and he is indicating that he is from. This is another example of display of the artistship. Meaning that the artist is proud of this work. He paid a lot of attention to marble and would travel to the place where these marbles were harvested and selects his taste in marble to suit his work. It was meant to give a message to all the citizens of florence and the message is a message of beauty.
