H The artist, Glovanni Della Robbla, was | a member of the famous family to wkich the manufacture of such enameled terra cotta reliefs was almost wholly confined, and of their work as a whole it will be well to say a word or two. That their art | is now a lost one is better known to the | expert than it is to the genmerai public. | This is, of course, one of the reasons for | Ll its prizing the gift of Mr. Healy. No similar reliefs have been made since the sixteenth century, and the artist of this Resurrec- tion was’ the last to practice this work in perfection. The Robbia reliefs are thus not only unique in their material but also in their period and style.
