Madonna and Child – Antique Sacred High Relief in 18th Century Gilded Wood

Interesting high relief in carved and gilded wood depicting the Madonna and Child, a work attributable to 18th-century Italian devotional production. The composition, set within a richly sculpted oval frame, features the Virgin holding the Child in a representation of intense tenderness and profound spirituality. The group emerges with remarkable vigor from the gilded background, creating a refined play of volumes and chiaroscuro. The soft modeling of the faces, the naturalness of the poses, and the elegant treatment of the drapery lend the ensemble considerable expressive quality. cm. 36.5x32
