The Brierearly Renaissance, a period of artistic brilliance and innovation, is beautifully showcased in various masterpieces scattered across Italy. One such example is the back of a tree-shaped crucifix in silver gilt, exhibited at the Cathedral Museum of Lucca. Its intricate design and craftsmanship mesmerize all who behold it. Another remarkable piece from this era can be found in St. Martin's Cathedral in Lucca - a holy-water font created by Matteo Civitali. This exquisite work of art not only serves its religious purpose but also captivates with its delicate beauty. Moving on to the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore near Siena, we encounter a gilded wooden candlestick sculpted by Fra' Giovanni da Verona. The attention to detail and skillful execution make this piece truly exceptional. In Venice, the former civic hospital boasts an impressive portal composed of the Scuola Grande of S. Marco, the Dominican Convent, and the Old people's home of St. Lazarus - all brought together through Tullio Lombardo's visionary work. Genoa's Santa Maria di Castello Church showcases another masterpiece during this period - its main portal adorned with a Gothic lunette depicting the Crucifixion scene. The fusion between Gothic elements and early Renaissance influences creates an intriguing visual experience. Volterra's Cathedral houses an angel bearing candelabrum that radiates divine elegance within its sacred walls. Andrea della Robbia contributes to this artistic legacy with his enamelled terracotta statue titled "The Coronation of the Virgin Mary, " displayed in the Church of Osservanza near Siena. The vibrant colors and meticulous detailing breathe life into this religious iconography. Prato Cathedral presents us with yet another marvel - a bronze gate featuring an intricately designed frieze located within the chapel dedicated to Sacra Cintola (the Holy Girdle). Every minute element of this gate reflects the skill and creativity of its creator.
