## Artwork

- Artist: [MAIANO, Benedetto da](<https://beta.wga.hu/artists/maiano-benedetto-da-r46a0d3a5a30073>)
- Date: 1451-1500
- Technique: Marble, slightly under life-size

## Commentary

In his late works Benedetto increased the size of his figures, reduced the number of characters within his reliefs and provided architectural settings free of unnecessary detail. A St Sebastian and a Virgin and Child \(both Misericordia, Florence\), both left unfinished in his studio at his death, were also conceived along the same lines.
