Image of Our Lady of Conception, Carved in Marfinite

About the Item

Image of Our Lady of Conception, carved in marfinite, presents a harmonious and detailed composition, referring to the traditional iconography of the Immaculate Virgin. The central figure displays a serene and pious expression, with eyes turned slightly upwards, representing spiritual elevation and proximity to the divine. The face is delicately modeled, conveying sweetness and contemplation. He wears a long, flowing cloak, draped elegantly, creating an effect of movement. The fluidity of the garment's folds highlights the craftsman's expertise, giving depth and dynamism to the piece. The soft colors, with golden and copper tones, enhance the details of the outfit, highlighting the contrasts of light and shadow. The base of the sculpture is adorned by four angels sculpted with angelic expressions, symbolizing purity and heavenly protection, supporting the figure of Our Lady, reinforcing the idea of her assumption and royalty in heaven. One of the angels holds a branch, possibly in reference to the Virgin's triumph over original sin. The ornate pedestal, with scrolls and geometric patterns, provides stability to the piece, as well as adding a touch of refinement and nobility to the ensemble. The choice of marfinite, a material that imitates the texture and solidity of marble, gives the image resistance and durability, making it ideal for both personal devotion and for decorating religious spaces. This representation of the Immaculate Conception synthesizes the baroque tradition and popular devotion, evoking the spirituality and faith of the faithful who contemplate it.
