Figure - Virgen en Pedestal - Silver, Marble

It is a nineteenth-century silver Virgin that concentrates all the drama contained and the elegant theatricality of the Baroque reinterpreted in a devotional key. The figure, weighing about 400 grams of silver, not counting the internal structure or the base, rises with solemn verticality: the mantle falls in deep, almost architectural folds, enveloping the body like a metallic cascade, while the tunic hints at a gentle movement, more spiritual than physical.

The face, serene and slightly inclined, responds to the late Baroque canon: full cheeks, downcast gaze, a sweetness that is not naive but contemplative. The Child, held firmly and tenderly, presents the same meticulous craftsmanship, with burin-worked hair and a small but proportioned anatomy, typical of the peninsular workshops of the nineteenth century that followed models from the previous century.

The pedestal, of independent structure, acts as a counterpoint: it elevates the figure and separates it from the everyday world, reinforcing its character as an object of worship. The silver, with its restrained shine and its ancient patina, lends a noble, almost liturgical presence, reminiscent of processional images of smaller format or of pieces intended for private oratories.

All together, it is a work that combines devotion, craftsmanship and Baroque theatricality, a sculpture designed to silently accompany, with the symbolic density and sober beauty of old silversmithing.
