Madonna and Child with Saints

Style of Andrea Sansovino

National Gallery of Art

This is a bronze-colored, oval-shaped object. It features several people, including a kneeling man, five standing people, and a seated woman with a child in her lap. Many of the people are holding different objects, including a tall cross and what looks like a palm frond. Behind the group are architectural elements such as arches and two small domed roofs. Above this building, at the top of the oval, another person is sitting or floating above the central group. At the bottom is a shield with winged cherubs on either side.
