Della Robbia Family

It being Sunday, I offer for your enjoyment another of Luca della Robbia's marvelous terracotta sculptures -- Christ in Majesty, in Florence, Italy.

The same talented photographer has posted photographs of other works by members of the della Robbia family. 

Luca (1400-1482) was the first and most famous member of this family of sculptors.   He was assisted and later succeeded by his nephew Andrea (1435-1525).   Andrea was in turn assisted and succeeded by his sons, the best known of whom was Giovanni (1469- ?).
