Tabernacle
- история:
- The Black Death struck in Italy in 1349, followed by an economic crisis that brought about a sharp break in sculptural activity, so that, with the exception of Andrea Orcagna's shrine in the Orsanmichele in Florence, the sculptural scene remained extremely barren until the closing decade of the century.
- Orcagna - a painter, sculptor and architect - was commissioned to execute the only significant, large-scale sculpture of the time in Florence, the mammoth tabernacle for Orsanmichele.
- This Gothic marble structure, rather like a miniature church, was a religious and civic edifice built to house Bernardo Daddi's repainting of a lost image of the Virgin and Child.
Hexagonal reliefs of the virtues and octagonal reliefs of the Life of the Virgin alternate on its base.
The programme culminates in the large relief on the back, the "Dormition and Assumption of the Virgin", where the work is signed and dated 1359.

- On the back of the tabernacle, built to house Bernardo Daddi's repainting of a lost image of the Virgin and Child, is the large relief "Dormition and Assumption of the Virgin".
- The two scenes, treated as one, are separated by the horizontal band of the tomb.
- This rocky ledge also marks a dichotomy in contemporary attitudes towards the earthly and the spiritual.
- The Death and Funeral of the Virgin take place on the earth and are physical, but three-dimensional space is suggested only by the histrionic figures who crowd round the Virgin laid out on Her sarcophagus.
- In the middle stands Christ holding a child symbolic of the Virgin's soul, flanked by two angels.
- Above in the flat otherwordly real, the Virgin levitates within a "mandorla" (almond) indicating spirituality and bestows her girdle on the kneeling St Thomas.

- Marble, lapis lazuli, gold and glass inlay.
- The tabernacle is encrusted with precious lapis, gold and glass inlay that creates a brilliant, shining polychromy; it is especially dense in the celestial realm, rendering the area still flatter.
- The elaborate decoration is equivalent to the rich brocades in contemporary painting, a taste which blossomed with the International Gothic style.
