""With his unusual placement of figures and daring postures, Rosso transforms a familiar devotional type into a charged encounter that draws the beholder into a complex interplay of seeing, feeling and believing.""
""The acquired goblet is not only of outstanding artistic quality, but also, outside of Dresden, the only work by the Nuremberg goldsmith Hans Rappolt I accessible to the public in Germany.""
Rosso Fiorentino's painting 'Madonna and Child with Saint John the Evangelist' is a significant Mannerist work, featuring a prominently displayed Christ Child. The painting, created when Fiorentino was a teenager, was thought lost until recent cleaning revealed Saint John the Evangelist, previously obscured. This identification links the work to Giorgio Vasari's writings. Additionally, Hans Rappolt I's goblet, crafted around 1581, exemplifies Nuremberg's goldsmithing prowess, showcasing intricate decorations and historical significance, including its connection to the Rothschild family.
