Sculpture Introduction:
This sculpture of the Virgin holding Jesus is copied from the famous Madonna of Bruges statue by Michelangelo. We could see that the design of this statue is different from the common Jesus and Mary sculptures. This sculpture shows us the image of a seated Virgin holding the baby Jesus. The pious Madonna smiles at the baby in her arms. Instead, Jesus stood upright, with little support, only loosely bound by Mary’s left hand, as if to leave his mother. Meanwhile, instead of holding on to her son tightly or even looking at him, Mary stared down.
Information About the Original Work:
Michelangelo’s depiction of Madonna and Jesus is very different from earlier depictions of the same subject. The Madonna of Bruges statue was created in Italy and exported to Belgium in 1504. It does not show a loving and warm mother staring at her child; instead, it depicts a mother grieving for her son’s future. It is believed that the piece was originally designed for an altarpiece. If so, then it would appear slightly to the right and down.
What Does Madonna of Bruges Represent?
It represents the Virgin Mary with her son Jesus. The most famous of these is the Michelangelo sculpture made of marble, titled “The Virgin of Bruges”. The rich history behind this sculpture is fascinating. Michelangelo’s Madonna and Child have been protected for hundreds of years. Although it was taken and hidden by soldiers during both the French Revolution and World War II, it was later discovered and returned to Belgium. It is a monument revered by millions of people who have traveled from all over the world to watch it. This work is also notable because it is the only sculpture that Michelangelo left Italy during his lifetime. This is the only sculpture by the great Italian artist in the Low Countries.
