Marble Virgin and Child in the Cloisters, Sept. 2007
Virgin and Child
Marble with gilding
France, Champagne, about 1350
From the parish church of Cernay-les-Reims
Accession # 28.76
The crown identifies the Virgin as the Queen of Heaven. Her scepter, depicted as a rose branch, may allude to the homily of the Virgin as the rose without thorns (or without sin). The dove held by the Christ Child is a reference to his Passion. This work, with its elegant proportions and horizontal, looping drapery folds, is related to a silver Virgin and Child (Musee du Louvre, Paris), given to the abbey of Saint-Denis in 1339 by Jeanne d'Evreux, the widowed queen of Charles IV. Jeanne's tiny book of hours is one of the masterpieces of The Cloisters Collection.
