Voices to Heaven Relief

1. Introduction of Voices to Heaven Relief

Luca della Robbia (c. 1399/1400-1482) was an important sculptor of the Italian Renaissance. His works are known for their exquisite expression and delicate emotional portrayal. Della Robbia’s achievements in the field of sculpture are not only reflected in the shaping of the figures, but also in his innovation of the glazed clay process. This glazing technology gives the works a unique beauty in color and texture, while improving the durability of the sculptures, allowing them to remain bright over time. Della Robbia pursued simplicity and harmony in his creations, and was good at conveying deep religious emotions through the expressions and postures of the characters. This style deeply influenced later Italian artists. The Voices to Heaven Relief is part of Della Robbia’s creation for the organ loft of the Florence Cathedral, depicting a group of children singing.

The children in the relief are dressed in classical costumes, some looking up to sing, some listening attentively, with faces full of piety and tranquility. The folds of their clothes are delicate and the lines are smooth and natural. The children in this Voices to Heaven Relief holding the music sheet look focused, and their companions around them sing in harmony, presenting a harmonious group atmosphere. The whole scene shows an atmosphere full of hope, as if the children’s singing is rising to the sky, conveying respect and praise for God. Welcome to contact us for more details.
