MADONA in polychrome and gilded stucco,... - Lot 41 - Pierre Bergé & Associés
MADONA in polychrome and gilded stucco, hollowed out back. The Madonna in bust form holds the Child standing next to her; she is dressed in a red girdled dress and a veil forming a mantle; the Child Jesus, a loincloth around his hips, blesses with his right hand; molded base. Tuscany, second half of the 15th century H_42,5 cm W_29,4 cm D_12 cm (Crack in the shoulders of the Virgin, small restorations to the polychromy) This charming group, not devoid of tenderness, is to be compared with a Virgin and Child in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford attributed to Domenico Rosselli (inv. no. WA 1941-10, fig.). Little is known about this Italian sculptor, who was born in 1439 in Pistoia, Tuscany, and ended his life around 1497 in Fossombre in the Marche, after having worked in Bologna, Pisa and Florence. Book consulted: J. Warren, Sculptures in Stone, Clay, Ivory, Bone and Wood, Medieval and Renaissance Sculpture, A Catalogue of the Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, n.d., Vol. 2, cat.122.
