Description from the seller
This religious icon of the Virgin, produced in the mid-20th century, is a devotional work with a strong symbolic presence and aesthetics. The central figure, depicted in a praying stance with hands joined and head inclined, conveys contemplation and spirituality. Its silver finish, worked in relief, highlights the details of the face, the halo, and the mantle, with a technique that combines artisanal precision and sacred expressiveness.
The Virgin's robes are decorated with floral motifs and radiating lines that emanate from the nimbus, reinforcing her sacred character. Small inlays of stones in red and blue tones provide a touch of color that contrasts with the metallic background, evoking the visual richness of Byzantine and Baroque icons.
The wooden frame, with a wide and ornate profile, combines gold and dark blue in a repeating pattern that frames the image with solemnity. Its design, though restrained, reinforces the liturgical dimension of the ensemble, making it suitable for both places of worship and private collections.
This piece, with its mixed-media technique and meticulous execution, represents a synthesis between religious tradition and decorative art, preserving its symbolic power and its value as an object of veneration.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
