Religious Statue of the Virgin and Child, Our Lady of the Thorn, 19th Century
Created during the second half of the 19th century, this devotional statuette is a spectacular example of religious craftsmanship in 19th-century France, where such statuettes were made by local clergy and sold to visiting pilgrims for the parish.
Miniaturized and placed on a four-legged base that serves as a throne to its grandeur, this Virgin and Child represents Our Lady of the Thorn (as inscribed on its base), an important basilica located in the village of L'Épine in the Marne region.
Its style is representative of its basilica: Gothic, and more specifically, the Flamboyant Gothic style. The arches intertwine, and the geometric structure blends order and freedom. This style clearly underscores the importance of the Christian faith in France, particularly in the 19th century.
Fast and careful shipping to France, Europe, and worldwide.
