Tall Antique European Carved Madonna

About the Item

A tall, sensitively sculpted antique wood figure of The Madonna. Standing almost three feet high, the exquisitely carved face of Mary, surrounded by graceful flowing robes and head covering, conveys an almost ineffable sense of spirituality and peace. Covered with old, off white polychrome, this piece, originating in Western Europe, reveals it's age and sense of place. The three round holes in the back suggest that this sculpture was fastened to the wall of a church or other religious building. Perfect for a room dedicated to quiet and thoughtful pursuits, perhaps a library or hideaway sanctuary. A spiritual and comforting presence.

  • 18th C, Southern France, Madonna and Child, Carved and Polychrome Wood
    Located in Leuven , BE
    Although the 18th century, the period of the Enlightenment in France, spawned thinkers who criticised the privileges of the clergy and the truthfulness of certain dogmas, the Roman Catholic faith was very much present in everyday life. Since king Louis XIV had issued the Edict of Fontainebleau in 1685, Protestantism was banned. This Madonna with child illustrates the daily practice of faith. Like many 18th-century Madonna statues...
