Virgin and Child

by TORRIGIANO, Pietro, Polychrome terracotta

In Seville Torrigiano modelled imposing life-size statues of the Penitent St Jerome, which is related to the version at Guadalupe, and two Virgin and Child groups, one for the Hieronymite convent of Buena Vista outside Seville (both now Museo de Bellas Artes, Seville). These influenced later Spanish sculptors and painters, e.g. Montañes, Zurbaran and Goya.
