Virgin and Child with the Infant Baptist and an Angel c. 1470 Painted terracottaUnglazed fired clay. It is used for architectural features and ornaments, vessels, and sculptures. Victoria and Albert Museum, London
This reliefA sculptural work in which all or part projects from the flat surface. There are three basic forms: low relief (bas-relief, basso rilievo), in which figures project less than half their depth from the background; medium relief (mezzo-rilievo), in which figures are seen half round; and high relief (alto rilievo), in which figures are almost detached from their background. seems to be the only authentic surviving example of one of Bellano's most delightful Madonna compositions.
