About the Item

18th century Immaculate Madonna Terracotta, 53 x 22 x 20 cm The work examined depicts the Virgin Mary treated according to the iconography of the Immaculate Virgin The theme of the Immaculate Conception began to appear in artistic works ever since the debate began, which saw the Franciscans and the ramifications of the Benedictine Order lined up on one side, linked to the thought of Anselmo d'Aosta and Bonaventura da Bagnoregio, and on the other the Dominicans, linked to the discussion offered by Thomas Aquinas. Even if the Catholic dogma will actually exist only in 1854, with the proclamation by Pius IX. It is a hot topic and was for centuries the subject of theological disputes: the thought that Mary was, from the moment of conception, free from sin was in contrast with the words of Christ whose affirmation that no man is born without blemish. Over the centuries, Mary has been promoted as a vehicle for the incarnation of her son, therefore also Immaculate and Most Pure, because she alone was born without original sin and conceived without concupiscence. In art, initially the theme was faced by gothic artists in a "cryptic" way, where the conclusion was sent back to the viewer, perhaps putting a series of easily decodable symbols and metaphors. It was difficult to fix an iconography for such an abstract concept. From the fifteenth century the works of art became more evident, leaning towards one or the other hypothesis, well understood by the reading of elements that clarify the divine intervention in certain episodes of the life of Anna and Joachim and of the infancy of the Virgin. More courageous were the works linked to the theme of the Dispute on the Immaculate Conception, where the artists portrayed, a more unique than rare case in sacred art, the conflicting opinion of the doctors of the Church. With the Counter-Reformation, the fixed iconography linked to the concept of the Immaculate Conception was established, which will be the one ratified by dogma. Mary appears as a new Eve as she tramples the serpent symbol of sin, represented as a young woman with joined hands, often accompanied by a crescent moon symbol of chastity, and the Franciscan cord with three knots.

19th Century Madonna and Child with Souls in Purgatory Papier-Mache Sculpture

Located in Milan, IT

First half of the 19th century Madonna and Child with souls in Purgatory Lacquered and gilded papier-mache with polychrome wooden base cm 96.5 x 37.5 x 28 "At that time I asked the Lord Jesus: 'For whom do I still have to pray?'. Jesus answered me that the following night he would make me known for whom I had to pray. I saw the Custodian Angel, who ordered me to follow him. At a moment I found myself in a foggy place, invaded by fire and, in it, a huge crowd of suffering souls. These souls pray with great fervour, but without effectiveness for themselves: only we can help them. The flames that burned them, they did not touch me. My Guardian Angel did not abandon me for a moment. And I asked those souls what their greatest torment was. And they unanimously answered me that their greatest torment is the ardent desire of God. I read the Madonna who visited the souls of Purgatory. The souls call Mary 'Star of the Sea'. She brings them refreshment ". (Diary of Sister Faustina Kowalska p. 11) A Polish religious, Saint Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938) reinterpreted in the pages of her testimony the ancient role of the Virgin as savior and supporter of the souls of Purgatory. The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council established that, assumed into Heaven, the Mother of God should operate a continuous intercession in favor of those children waiting for Paradise who were in the place, quoted for the first time by Pope Gregory the Great...

The departure of Christ is evident from the lowered head, from the open hands...
