About this work
Although the original setting of this tondo is unknown, it must have been situated fairly high up. This appears from the subtle, slanting plane behind Mary. Perhaps it functioned as the crowning element of a tomb or a church portal. This relief is one of the earliest known works by Antonio Rizzo, the first sculptor in Venice to work in the Renaissance style.
