Even I (art illiterate as I am) have heard of this artist. It's a beautiful piece.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot and very well focused. I have seen a good number of works of Della Robbia during our visits. And, yes, he is well known.

@pdulis It's tin-glazed terracotta, the artist's own invention! @linnypinny Thank you Lin! @fishers Thanks Ian! @randystreat Curiously there is also a small one in a church near where I live in Ramsgate in the UK! @sangwann Thanks Dione! He was certainly prolific, and very successful.
