Lot 76

An Italian sculpted white marble portrait bust of a young boy, possibly the infant Christ, in Renaissance style, portrayed with serene visage and drapery surrounding the truncated torso, 29cm highIn around 1410, the Italian prelate and later Cardinal Giovanni Dominici recommended that parents display images of the Christ Child and the young John in their homes, to serve as moral examples for their children. Sculptors in and around Florence such as Desiderio da Settignano and his contemporaries Antonio Rossellino and Mino da Fiesole are known to have sculpted busts of young boys on a similar scale, which are often considered to represent these Saints as children.
