The Infant Jesus of Prague
About the Item
A rare and exquisite example of 18th-century religious art, this Infant Jesus of Prague embodies the elegance and devotion of the Baroque period. Hand-carved from wood and richly adorned with gold leaf and sterling silver accents, the piece rests atop its original matching pedestal, showcasing meticulous detail and reverence in every feature.
Originating from mid-1700s Europe—a time when Catholic devotion and the veneration of holy figures flourished—this statue reflects the artistic tendencies of the era: ornate craftsmanship, lifelike expression, and the use of precious materials to honor sacred subjects. The Infant Jesus of Prague, in particular, held a prominent place in homes and churches, symbolizing divine protection, grace, and answered prayers.
This devotional figure is not only a beautiful spiritual object but also a valuable collector's item. Whether displayed in a private chapel, curated collection, or refined interior, it brings with it centuries of tradition, artistic mastery, and timeless reverence.
