Description
A beautiful Flemish Virgin of Malines from the late 15th century A polychrome and gilded wood carving. Dimensions: 30 x 14 x 9 cm. This sculpture depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child in a vertical composition of striking elegance and profound devotional character. The ample folds of the robes create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, whilst the faces display a serene and intimate expression. The polychromy and traces of gilding enrich the surface, emphasising the sacred dignity of the figures. The frontal arrangement and the stylised bodies are linked to late Gothic models and early Renaissance influences found in 16th-century Spanish sculpture. The quality of the carving and the delicacy of the details make this image an outstanding example of the artistic transition between medieval traditions and the new humanist styles. Dimensions: 30 x 14 cm.
