Description from the seller
Devotional sculpture depicting the Pietà, with the Virgin holding the body of Christ, interpreted in a decorative key and made in a composite material with a glossy ivory-colored finish. The work reinterprets a central theme of Christian iconography, translating it into a soft and elegant form, suitable for both private devotion and display as a refined trinket.
The composition is harmonious and well balanced: the figure of the Virgin, seated and gathered in a posture of mournful composure, supports the laid-out body of Christ with a maternal and solemn gesture. The lines are fluid, with broad and flowing drapery that create a refined play of volumes and shadows, while the faces are rendered with gentle, idealized strokes, capable of conveying a strong sense of spirituality and contemplation.
The surface, smooth and glossy, enhances the modeling and gives the sculpture a clean and luminous appearance, highlighting the anatomical details and the richness of the drapery. The overall effect is that of an object that combines iconographic tradition with decorative taste, perfectly suited for classical, contemporary settings, or spaces dedicated to prayer.
Ideal for collectors of sacred art, for those who desire a symbolic element with strong expressive value or as a decorative object able to create a contemplative and meaningful atmosphere. The overall condition is very good, with any minor signs compatible with normal preservation.
Proper packaging and trackable shipping throughout Europe.
