Beschreibung
Anonymous Basque-Navarre-Rioja. Late thirteenth century.
"Seat of Wisdom, Sedes Sapientiae".
Carved, gilded and polychrome wood sculpture.
116 x 51 x 32 cm
The iconography of the Virgin and Child enthroned or seated was one of the favorites in Gothic sculpture of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The book of poems set to music, the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" (Canticles of Holy Mary) contributed to this popularity and so did the remarkable devotion that the monasteries of the Premonstratensian and Cistercian orders professed to her. This remarkable polychrome wooden sculpture of the Madonna and Child is in a good state of preservation despite the loss of some parts of Mary's body, such as the right arm, the hand of which, with fingers extended upwards, would have held a fruit, generally a pear or an apple that alludes to the consideration of the Virgin as the new Eve offering the fruit of Salvation. As usual, the back and the throne are not carved, and are hollowed out, although on this occasion the hollow has been closed at its lower part by some planks arranged horizontally. As usual, the Virgin has been conceived in a forward-facing, seated position on a low throne without a back, although with moldings on the sides. As we have said, her right hand is missing, while the left hand is placed on the shoulder of her Son. Professor Clara Fernández-Ladreda calls this typology of images “Virgins of support”-, thus showing a relationship of affection and closeness between the two very typical of the sculpture of these times.
The Virgin has been sculpted with an elongated canon, especially noticeable in the torso and in the head to a lesser extent. She wears pointed shoes, a blue tunic with a rounded neck marked by a golden border, a golden mantle thrown over her back and covering both shoulders and legs, forming some folds of remarkable highlighting in the form of “V” at this height, and a veil with wavy folds of great volume that covers her head and on which a crown is arranged. The facial features are very distinguished, with small almond-shaped eyes, a pointed nose, a closed mouth with thin lips that traces a slight smile, and wavy blond hair that frames the head, and two necklaces painted on the wood itself.
On the other hand, the Infant Jesus, shows a noticeable stiffness and a serious countenance. He rests between the Virgin's legs, in a somewhat tilted posture that breaks with the forward-facing posture that was usual in previous times, although the child has been conceived in a forward-facing position. He looks to the front, raising his right hand to bless the faithful, while with the other he holds a closed book that symbolizes the wisdom of Christ and which contains the prophecies of his coming. His face and features are similar to those of his mother, although his head is rather more rounded than oval, with an unruly head of hair and the familiar serious gesture. His clothing and the way he is dressed is also similar to that of his mother.
This excellent example of the Virgin and Child could be dated to the end of the 13th century and be included among the Madonnas of the Basque-Navarre-Rioja type, being, therefore, the work of a sculptor who worked in one of these regions or who was influenced by the models from there.
We would like to thank Dr. Javier Baladrón, doctor in History of Art, for the identification and cataloguing of this work.
