    Abstract
    This image of Christ the Redeemer one of many terracotta busts of Christ produced by Verrocchio, his workshop, and his followers in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The physical features of Christ are close to those of Verrocchio's bronze Christ (with the doubting Thomas at Orsanmichele). All of these images follow a description of Christ that was believed in the Renaissance to be written by an eye witness and thus accurate. The polychromy only partially survives on this work, which has been attributed to a Florentine sculptor, possibly Benedetto da Maiano. This sculpture is housed in the Museo d'Arte Sacra in San Gimignano. Photograph(s) licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
