# Virgin and Child [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DESIDERIO DA SETTIGNANO]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Marble, 59 x 43 cm ## Commentary Several works have been attributed to Desiderio on the grounds of their similarity to the Marsuppini tomb. The marble relief of the Virgin and Child, known as the Foulc Madonna in Philadelphia, originally from the hospital of Santa Maria Nuova, Florence, is close to the tondo of the Virgin and Child on the tomb. The low relief is, in terms of composition and expressive power, one of Desiderio's best works. ## Related artworks - [A Little Boy]() - [A Little Boy]() - [Crucifix]() - [Laughing Boy]() - [Mary Magdalene]() - [Mary Magdalene]() - [Mary Magdalene]() - [Meeting of Christ and St John the Baptist as Youth]() - [Portrait of Marietta Strozzi]() - [St Jerome in the Desert]() - [Tabernacle \(detail\)]() - [Tabernacle \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
