Virgin And Child – 18th Century – Pierre De Bourgogne

Virgin and Child – 18th Century – Burgundy Stone. This beautiful Burgundy stone sculpture depicts the Virgin and Child, created in the 18th century in a deliberately medieval style. The Virgin is shown standing, holding the Infant Jesus against her, in a frontal composition imbued with solemnity and gentleness. The faces, with their refined and serene features, evoke a revisited medieval aesthetic, while the treatment of the drapery, deeply carved and rhythmic, testifies to masterful sculpting. The finely detailed Child holds a symbolic attribute, reinforcing the religious and devotional dimension of the work. The stone displays an ancient, homogeneous patina, indicative of time and use, which lends the piece great authenticity and a strong decorative presence. This sculpture belongs to the tradition of religious works intended for both private devotion and the ornamentation of a sacred space or a distinctive interior.
