This piece is very heavy so shipping will depend on buyers preferd method. the piece is sold as is. Very few works survive by Desiderio da Settignano (c. 1429â€“1464); yet, despite his short life, he ranks among the most original and influential sculptors of the early Renaissance and the finest stone carvers of all time. Even Leonardo da Vinci seems to have learned from his compositions, expression, and atmospheric treatment of space. Working in Florence in the mid-fifteenth century, possibly taught by Donatello, Desiderio virtually invented portraiture of children, made popular a new type of extraordinary low relief, and gave traditional religious imagery an unprecedented delicacy of expression and tenderness of sentiment. This exhibition, the first ever dedicated to the artist, assembles about twenty-five works by Desiderio and his closest followers. The great Marsuppini tomb in Santa Croce (completed c. 1459) and the tabernacle of the Sacrament in San Lorenzo (completed 1461), which cannot leave the Florentine churches for which they were made, are subjects of illustrated essays in the catalogue, which is the first book on Desiderio since 1962 and the first ever to be published in English.
