After Luca della Robbia, (Florentine 1399/1400 ~ 1482), the Cantoria, a painted plaster figural relief panel, late 19th century, portraying seven choir boys in song, all draped in the classical manner, the foremost sculpted almost in the round, 102cm high, 65cm wide Set within a contemporary carved mahogany and parcel gilt composition frame, with egg-and-dart and gadrooned mouldings, beneath a dentil worked and ogee moulded entablature, the overall dimensions 138cm high, 103cm wide Provenance: Previously at the Old Hall, Melton Mowbray Della Robbia's output was noted for its charm more than for its sense of drama (which was more obvious in the work of some of his contemporaries). This is clearly apparent in the faces and figures of this, his first major commission, the gallery for liturgical singers in Florence's Duomo -the Cantoria (1431 ~ 1438) Della Robbia was praised by his compatriot Leon Battista Alberti for genius comparable to that of the sculptors Donatello and Lorenzo Ghiberti, the architect Filippo Brunelleschi, and the painter Masaccio. By ranking him with contemporary artists of this stature, Alberti defined the interest in and strength of Luca's work in marble and bronze, as well as in the terracottas for which his name is now more usually associated As for the structure of the Cantoria itself, the Victoria & Albert Museum (which holds a 19th century plaster cast of part of the Cantoria in its collection) states that: 't he Cantoria, or Singing Gallery, was probably designed as an organ loft, and may have acquired its name when, in 1688, the balustrade was replaced by a larger wooden structure to hold a choir to sing at Ferdinando de'Medici's wedding. It was not until 1891 that the reliefs and the surviving lower part were reunited by Luigi del Moro in an erroneous reconstruction, with single, fluted pilasters dividing the reliefs. The discovery in 1899, of a selection of the original paired Corinthian pilasters and a retrieval of part of the architrave and of the upper inscription in 1941 permitted a more accurate reconstruction of the Cantoria in 1954'
