ABOUT THE WORK

In the mid-XV century, Luca Della Robia created ceramic medallions with the apostles and the evangelists for the Pazzi Chapel of the Convent of Santa Croce in Florence and placed them on the pendants of the vaulted dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi.

Ir heralded the enshrinement of the iconographic model and the implantation model that made the fortune of this tondi in the history of Renaissance sculpture and the Della Robbia workshop.

The four medallions, each representing one of the Evangelist with their attributes, are inspired by this paradigm, both on the plastic formulation and in their functionality and location at the MADRE DE DEUS Convent.
