Vierge romane en majesté. Bourgogne 12ème siecle.

Circa 1175

About the Item

Grande vierge en majesté de l'époque romane en bois polychrome. Cette Vierge à l'enfant inédite s'inscrit dans le corpus des Vierges romanes de Bourgogne. Marie est assise sur un trône et porte l'Enfant couronné sur ses genoux, en position décentré. La Vierge est vêtue d'un long manteau aux plis droits, la tête voilée sous une basse couronne. Cette belle sculpture a conservé sa polychromie d'origine et présente des caractéristiques se retrouvant sur les exemplaires connus en Bourgogne, et plus particulièrement en Côte d'Or. L'exécution des visages, les mains aux doigts très allongés, évoquent la Vierge de Viévy conservée au musée d'art sacré de Dijon et datée de la fin du XIème siècle. Cependant notre sculpture présente des éléments différenciateurs la plaçant plus tard dans le 12ème siècle, par les détails vestimentaires et la position décentrée du Christ. Si elle conserve des traits du tout début du 12ème siècle, la conception générale, les coiffures et la position du Christ la rapprochent de la Vierge en majesté conservée au musée de l'Hôtel-Dieu à Beaune (seconde partie du 12ème siècle, Inv. 87 GHD 309) et provenant des environs de Pommard. Notre sculpture peut ainsi être datée de la fin du 12ème siècle. Le dos est plat et non creusé. Pas de restaurations.

Enthroned Madonna and Child.
Located in PARIS, FR
Large Virgin and Child in carved wood, carved back. Sitting on a throne bench, Mary carries Christ seated on her left knee.

Marie is wearing a belted dress with a simple neckline and a coat with a flap that goes back to the front. Tiny traces of polychromy. Romanesque influences are still present. With her protruding eyes, she can also be compared to the statuary of Lake Constance. Our Virgin, rare for its size, nevertheless presents strong analogies with the Italian Sedes Sapientiae...
