The world-famous work of Michelangelo, Madonna and Child, was intended for the Piccolomini altar in this cathedral of Siena. But you won't see it here. For that, you need to go to Bruges, to the Church of Our Lady. It was purchased in Italy by the Bruges merchant Jan van Moeskroen (Giovanni di Moscerone) and donated to the church in 1514. The family tomb of the donor is located at the foot of the altar, in front of the statue. The statue was removed in 1794 by the French occupier and in 1944 by the German occupier, but was repeatedly returned to Bruges.
