Title	Madonna and Child
Description	English: This majestic statue would originally have been placed in a niche or arch-shaped enclosure decorating an interior architectural structure, such as a tomb or ciborium (a canopy-like structure placed over the altar). Arnolfo designed numerous such monuments, though many have been damaged or dismantled. Arnolfo's sculpture is influenced by his observation of antique models. The drapery derives from Roman togas, which he would have seen represented on ancient sarcophagi. Classical borrowings are complemented by his dedication to naturalism, evident in the face and gesture of the Christ child, which goes beyond that of his contemporaries. The Virgin's head was probably completed by an assistant. Arnolfo was also a famous architect; his buildings included the Cathedral of Florence.
