The statue of Madonna placed in the lunette above the gate of the church Santa Maria dei Miracoli designed by architect Pietro Lombardo and built between 1481 and 1489 was carved by sculptor Giorgio Lascaris. The Greek-born sculptor was active in Padua, Venice, Verona and Ferrara. He signed this work under the name Pirgoteles. He was a follower of the classical Renaissance style of the early 16th century, with particular reference to the works of Antonio and Tullio Lombardo.
