This sculpture represents the Sacred Heart of Jesus enthroned on a console, crafted in plaster and wood between 1940 and 1950, reflecting mid-20th-century religious art influences. The Sacred Heart is a major Catholic devotion symbolizing Jesus' divine love and compassion, often depicted with a heart surrounded by flames and a crown of thorns. The use of plaster allows fine detail and ease of casting for multiple reproductions, while wood elements add stability and warmth. Sculptures like this were commonly placed in churches, chapels, or private homes to encourage prayer and reflection. The Olot artistic school, known for religious statuary, influenced works of this sort, blending traditional themes with accessible materials to maintain devotional presence in modern contexts.
