EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Enthroned Virgin and Child" sculpture, crafted from ivory around 1250 by the talented artists of the Mosan School. Standing at a height of 15.90 centimeters with its base, or 13.35 centimeters without it, this remarkable piece is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The delicate carving depicts the Virgin Mary seated on an ornate throne, cradling her divine child Jesus Christ in her arms. The intricate details and masterful craftsmanship highlight the skill and devotion put into creating this medieval masterpiece. As a symbol of Christian faith and religious devotion, this statuette represents a significant part of European history and culture during the Gothic period. Its presence evokes feelings of reverence and awe as one contemplates the spiritual significance behind such an iconic portrayal. Originally hailing from the Valley of Meuse, where Mosan art flourished during that era, this enchanting sculpture serves as a testament to both artistic talent and religious fervor. Donated to the museum by Mrs. Edward B. Greene, it stands as a timeless reminder of our rich cultural heritage. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, viewers can appreciate not only its beauty but also gain insight into Christian iconography and medieval carving techniques that have stood the test of time.
