The sculpture of the Madonna of Montserrat Enthroned captures the mystical essence and majestic solemnity of the famous Catalan Virgin. This hieratic representation of the Sedes Sapientiae (Throne of Wisdom) depicts the Virgin in a frontal and regal pose, with the Infant Jesus, also crowned, placed centrally on her lap.
The work is characterized by an extraordinarily rich finish that evokes the ancient splendor of gilded bronze. The robes and throne are covered in an antique gold color, expertly patinated with burnished shades that give depth and a precious aged effect. The faces, hands, and feet of Mother and Child are rendered in a deep, almost black, dark brown, which enhances their dramatic contrast with the gold details and the brilliant polychromy of the mantle.
Crafted according to the artisanal tradition of Val Gardena, this statue is molded from a precious combination of resin and wood powder. This innovative material guarantees superior resistance and allows for the definition of every detail of the heavy and stylized folds of the robes, the blessing gesture of the Child, and the elaborate crowns, offering a piece of devotion of the highest quality and durability.
