Adoration of the Magi

Adoration of the Magi

1510

This depiction of the Adoration of the Magi is an altarpiece by the Florentine Italian Renaissance sculptor Andrea della Robbia (1435 to 1525). Andrea inherited the family workshop from his famous uncle, Luca della Robbia, who had developed the technique of applying tin glazes, similar to those used by potters, to terracotta (fired clay) to produce sculptures that were colourful, durable and relatively cheap. Larger sculptures, such as this example which dates to about 1500 to 1510, were made in sections in order to fit into the kiln for firing.
