Luca della Robbia (1399/1400–1482) developed the glazed terracotta technique at the beginning of the 1440s. His terracotta reliefs were more durable than those made from stucco, a material used for architectural decorations. At the same
time, terracotta was less costly than marble, and so within a short time it became very popular. Majolica became the speciality of the Florentine workshop, led initially by Luca della Robbia and later by Andrea, his nephew. It received numerous commissions in the course of a century. The minutely detailed Pietà in Budapest, the only surviving version, was probably produced in Andrea della
Robbia’s workshop.
