About the Item
Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of this sculpture of the Infant Jesus as Salvator Mundi, an exceptional piece originating from the renowned School of Mechelen of the 15th-16th centuries. Sculpted with mastery and meticulousness, this round-bump sculpture captures the very essence of devotion and faith.
Measuring 23 cm in height (excluding the base), this sculpture stands out not only for its size but also for the exceptional material in which it is crafted. It portrays the Infant Jesus standing, holding the terrestrial globe in his left hand while blessing the world with his right hand, an iconographic representation laden with spiritual significance.
The features of this sculpture are characteristic of the artistic works of the Flemish city of Mechelen. From the soft anatomy with a prominent belly to the wide thighs and the roughly sketched feet and hands, each detail reflects the skill and characteristic style of the region. The round face of the Infant Jesus, with golden locks of symmetric curls and almond-shaped eyes with heavy eyelids, conveys a sense of serenity and spiritual transcendence.
This sculpture is more than just a work of art; it is a symbol of devotion and a window into the spirituality of the era. With its elegance and profound symbolism, this sculpture of the Infant Jesus as Salvator Mundi is a true gem that will captivate all who behold it.
