Virgin with Child Enthroned, Boxwood, Bronze and Carved Rock Crystal, 19th C

About the Item

Virgin with Child enthroned. Boxwood, bronze and carved rock crystal. XIX century. On an upholstered base, another second base has been placed in bronze, the metal in which the throne is made. It stands on four low columns with smooth shafts with capitals decorated with scrolls and simplified vegetal forms, decorative elements that are repeated at the waist, combined with oval blue beads; the back, square and openwork with highly schematic scrolls, is topped by four carved rock crystal pearls. The Virgin Mary is seated on it, with a crown that repeats the decorative elements of the throne, dressed in a tunic and mantle and with a book in her hand. The Child Jesus, on his lap, also directs his gaze forward, while blessing with his right hand. The iconography comes, as usual, from Byzantine models: among the Theotokos types, the Panakranta or Panacranta is in which Mary appears seated on a throne, with the Child on her lap and both facing the viewer, showing what was agreed upon. at the IV Ecumenical Council of Chalcedon (451 AD). These were arriving in Europe already in the Romanesque, developing the iconography of the West. This work can be compared with the Italo-Byzantine icon from the thirteenth century preserved in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC (United States), or the carving of the "Virgin of the Battles" of the Monastery of San Pedro de Arlanza, made around 1225-1235, and preserved in the Museum of Burgos, or the Romanesque of the mid-seventeenth century today in the Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires (Argentina), although there are a large number of examples. However, details such as the decoration of the capitals, the anatomy shown by the two figures, the scrolls of the throne and the crown, the folds of the cloths, a certain air in the faces despite their schematization, the symmetry present in various points of the work, etc., show the belonging of the carving to a date closer to the present day. Specifically, the style known as Neo-Gothic: it was inspired by works from the 13th to 15th-16th centuries and was opposed to the preceding Neoclassical; It was born in England around the middle of the 18th century, and spread across continental Europe in the 19th century." · Size: 10x10x24 cm aprox.
