Lot 107
Romanesque school; 11th-12th century"Virgin and Child".Carved and polychrome wood.Measurements: 38,5 x 18 x 17 cm.In the Romanesque style, the Virgin Mary is no more than the seat of divinity; she is not presented as the mother of God, so there is no affective relationship between her and the Child. In fact, at this time the Virgin is not yet an important figure in the Church. These Romanesque Virgin Thrones of God were always made in a size of between 50 and 100 cm in height, mainly in carved wood, and in them the Child is always the protagonist, despite the difference in size with his mother. Jesus always appears as we see him here, blessing with his right hand and holding a book in his left, which represents the Bible. The Child always appears facing the viewer, and normally in the centre, although here he is slightly off to one side, in a more natural position that indicates a clear formal advance within the Romanesque style. As we have said, there is no affective relationship between Mary and Jesus, but rather they turn their backs to each other and look directly in front of the viewer.Romanesque is the name given to the first great period of medieval art in Europe (the Western part), but it is not a uniform aesthetic movement throughout the territory, neither in aesthetics nor in chronology. In the Iberian Peninsula, it is necessary to speak of Visigothic art (from the 5th century until the Muslim conquest, approximately), Asturian art (area of the Principality of Asturias, without Muslim domination, between the end of the 8th and the beginning of the 10th century), Mozarabic art (of the Christians who lived in Muslim territory, from 711 to the end of the 11th century) and not forgetting Islamic Andalusian art, given that, chronologically, we are between the 5th or 5th centuries AD and the 10th or 11th centuries.
