The Blood of the Redeemer lunette, attributed to Donatello and dated around 1429-1430, depicts Christ pouring his blood into a chalice held by an angel, set in a striking composition between flying angels and rocky clouds, almost like a theatrical scene suspended in space. After a complex history involving movements and illicit sale, the original work has been recovered and is today housed in the church of Santa Croce, in the historic center of Torrita di Siena.
