Sculpture, "Madonna con Bambino" - Fine XVIII / XIX Secolo - 80 cm - Wood

The sculpture titled "Madonna con Bambino" translates to "Madonna with Child," a classic subject in Christian art depicting the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus. Crafted from wood during the late 18th or early 19th century, such sculptures emphasize religious devotion and were commonly used for both churches and private devotion. Woodcarving allows for finely detailed expressions and drapery folds, imparting a warm, lifelike presence to these devotional figures. This period often balanced Baroque and Neoclassical influences, resulting in artworks that combined emotional expression with balanced composition. The 80 cm height makes it a substantial yet manageable piece for display in ecclesiastical settings or collectors' homes.
