Madonna and Child with Four Cherubs
Madonna and Child with Four Cherubs is a c.1440 terracotta sculpture by Donatello, now in the Bode-Museum in Berlin, which bought it in 1888.[1] Still partly medieval in its iconography, Mary and Jesus' heads touch in a manner also seen in the artist's Pazzi Madonna. The work was badly damaged in the 1945 fire, with breaks in several places and losing its traces of polychromy.[2]
