This majolica Madonna and Child is by the famous 20th century ceramicist Eugenio Pattarino--1885-1971-his works were passed out by the Vatican as gifts to famous visitors like JFK--Andre Gide, Sarte and Edith Piaf were some the more famous who collected his work-most Pattarinos in the US were brought in by well-healed American tourists who bought them in Florence-- a large 8 foot Madonna by Pattarino is in a chapel in Lady of Angel Cathedral in Los Angeles----for years Pattarinos sculptures were marketed from a shop in Florence on the shoulder of the river Arno--several years ago shop was washed away in a flood along with records, sculptures and any forms--so Pattarinos sculptures have become rarer and rarer--this finely detailed 16.25 inch sculpture is glazed terra cotta and is signed inside-It was designed to hang on he wall-later a wood pedestal was attached to make it free standing-you can display either way-- perfect condition--sensitively executed-fine vibrant color
