Virgin and Child
by VALDAMBRINO, Francesco di, Polychrome wood
Valdambrino’s first dated work is a polychromed wooden statue of the standing Virgin and Child (1403), in Sant’Andrea, Palaia. Both the delicate Virgin and Child and the rigidly iconic St Peter (Museo Civico e Diocesano d’Arte Sacra, Montalcino) are in the Late Gothic style then current in Pisa and show the influence of Nino Pisano in particular.
