Description
Alabaster relief of the Virgin and Child. Neo-Gothic School. 19th century Polychrome alabaster on a wooden background. This delicate sculptural composition depicts the Virgin Mary in a serene pose, tenderly holding the Child Jesus. The relief is notable for its brilliant colour scheme, with red and gold tones in the drapery contrasting with the soft colours of the background. The framing architectural structure, a semicircular arch, is reminiscent of Gothic tabernacles and emphasises the sacred nature of the image. The use of alabaster creates a smooth, translucent texture, ideal for rendering the delicacy of the faces and folds. The carefully applied polychromy and gilding reveal a nineteenth-century work that revives Gothic forms and themes with a Romantic sensibility. This piece combines devotional art with sculptural refinement, evoking an intimate and decorative religiosity characteristic of Neo-Gothic art. 40 x 21 x 2 cm.
