The "Cantoria" by Luca della Robbia is a celebrated marble choir loft created between 1431 and 1438 for the Florence Cathedral, also known as the Duomo. This exquisite work of art was commissioned by the Opera del Duomo, the organization responsible for the maintenance and decoration of the cathedral. The "Cantoria" was designed to serve both a functional and decorative purpose, providing a space for singers during liturgical ceremonies while also enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the cathedral's interior.

Luca della Robbia, a renowned sculptor of the early Italian Renaissance, is best known for his innovative use of glazed terracotta, but the "Cantoria" showcases his exceptional skill in marble. The choir loft is adorned with a series of intricate relief panels that depict joyous scenes of singing and dancing children, inspired by Psalm 150, which calls for the praise of God through music and dance. These lively and expressive figures are masterfully rendered, capturing the exuberance and innocence of youth.

The "Cantoria" is notable for its harmonious blend of classical and contemporary elements. The architectural framework of the loft features classical motifs such as acanthus leaves, egg-and-dart moldings, and fluted pilasters, reflecting the influence of ancient Roman art. At the same time, the dynamic and naturalistic portrayal of the children exemplifies the humanist ideals of the Renaissance, emphasizing the beauty and vitality of the human form.

Originally installed above the entrance to the north sacristy of the Florence Cathedral, the "Cantoria" was later removed and is now housed in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, where it continues to be admired by art historians and visitors alike. The work is considered a masterpiece of early Renaissance sculpture and a testament to Luca della Robbia's artistic genius.
