  13 Inches High x 12 Inches Wide x 7 Inches Deep Andrea della Robbia (1435-1525) was from the famous Della Robbia family of artists who owned a successful workshop in Florence during the Italian Renaissance. They are known for their colorful, glazed terracotta sculptures. The specific mixture for their glaze was invented by Andrea's uncle, Luca, in the 1430s. The original bust featured blue and green clothes and some color on the eyebrows. The boy may be a depiction of Christ or a portrait of Pietro lo Sfortunato, the son of Lorenzo de Medici, "il Magnifico."   Artist: Andrea della Robbia Museum: Bargello National Museum, Florence Time Period: Renaissance, c. 1460-1490 1911 Catalog ID # - 5153   Sources: "Bust of a Boy." Web Gallery of Art, https://www.wga.hu/html_m/r/robbia/andrea/misc/06andrea.html.
