Andrea della Robia : The Virgin and Child
Terracotta invetriata refers to Italian terracotta, a glazed ceramic, typical of the Renaissance artists of the Della Robbia workshop. Its original terracotta colour gives way to the very bright fired colours of the ceramics of the alla robbiana workshop (often limited to the main blue and white colours). It was used to make coloured bas-reliefs, in particular and almost exclusively by the Della Robbia workshop, a family of Italian artists of the Renaissance.
