Madonna del colloquioGiovanni Pisano

This half-length marble Virgin and Child (c. 1280–1284) originally stood at the south transept portal of Pisa Cathedral. Now, it captures a striking emotional exchange between mother and son. The Child gently grasps Mary’s veil, emphasizing Pisano’s innovative focus on tenderness and psychological realism in sacred art.
