Lot information
This 18th century statue of the Madonna and Child is created in the late Gothic style, which is characterized by strict verticality and spiritual symbolism. The sculptor was inspired by Gothic patterns, which is evident in her calm expression and the fine workmanship of the drapery, which gives the figure a lightness and an impressive grandeur. The Madonna holds the baby Jesus in her arms, symbolizing the salvation of mankind, and her expression is the embodiment of kindness and humility. The polychromy that decorates the surface of the sculpture underlines the emphasis on detail and color, thereby adding to the monumentality of the entire composition. This sculpture is a valuable example of the historicist approach of 18th century artists to Gothic art and represents a harmonious connection of religious iconography with aesthetic values.
