About the Item

This extraordinary museum piece Enthroned Virgin Mary/Madonna with child on her lap comes from the Rhone region in France. The saint symbol and protector of France. It is very well preserved and in magnificent condition. The posture of Madonna with baby Jesus sitting on her lap represents a very important intricate medieval theological concept- Throne of Wisdom, where Virgin Mary serves as a throne for Jesus Christ who in turn embraces divine wisdom. Dynamic, precise and expressive lines show an extremely refine wood carving work. Usually, this kind of sculptures were placed on an alter but also were used in religious processions as well as being involved in theatrical performance within a church. It’s an incredible collector item, part of French History and Gothic Romanesque Period.
