Romanesque sculpture of Virgin enthroned with Child, italian Romanesque early...
Romanesque sculpture of Virgin enthroned with Child, italian Romanesque early Medieval school, 13th century to 14th century
Romanesque wood carving with polychrome from the 19th century. The Virgin, crowned, enthroned and with the Child is one of the most representative sculptural typologies of the Romanesque. Hieraticism and lack of expressiveness are key elements of Romanesque sculpture. However, the placement of the Child on the Virgin's left leg, and the contact established by the mother holding the Child with her left hand, indicate a slight tendency to show expression and affection between them. Measurements: 101 x 37 x 29 cm.
