Detail of a Virgin and Child Statue in the Cloisters, Sept. 2007

Detail of a Virgin and Child Statue in the Cloisters, Sept. 2007

Virgin and Child
Limestone with original paint, gilding, and glass
France, Ile-de-France, about 1350.

Accession # 37.159

A prime example of Parisian Gothic sculpture, this image depicts the Virgin as both the Mother of Christ and the Queen of Heaven. Her right hand once held a scepter, symbol of her regal status. Mary gazes directly ahead while the Child greets viewers coming from the left. Conceived to be approached from two vantage points, this sculpture was probably installed against a column on the right side of a church nave.
