Description from the seller
Notre Dame des Victoires – plaster – France – late 19th, early 20th century.
Professionally shipped – more than 850 five-star reviews worldwide.
Finely detailed devotion statue of Our Lady of the Victories, with the Child Jesus standing on the globe. Mary is crowned as Queen of Heaven and holds the Child protectively before her. She stands on a cloud base with two cherubs at her feet and lovingly holds Jesus. Her bearing radiates dignity and protection, while her gaze is tenderly directed at the child.
Jesus, also crowned, stands on a globe with stars, supported by a column of clouds. His expansive posture emphasizes his universal presence and invitation to salvation.
Notre Dame des Victoires refers to the eponymous basilica in Paris, where the original statue is located. The crowns refer to King Louis XIII, to whom the victory was attributed, and explain the name of the sanctuary. Papal permission was required at the time to depict the figures with a crown.
The sculpture is in reasonably good condition, with clear signs of age and wear that contribute to its authenticity. Please take a good look at the photos—the photos are part of the description.
Made according to the original by J. Cambos.
Will be shipped with Track & Trace.
