Description



Sedes Sapientiae
Tuscany, 15th century

height cm 65 (25,5’’)

The work finds an artistic and cultural position in the important fourteenth century production of polychrome wooden sculptures, typical of Tuscany, especially in the Florentine area.
The faces and the hands of Mary and Jesus, as well as the feet of the latter, have a rosy flesh colour with reddish cheeks; the eyes and the superciliary arches are brown, while the hairs of both are golden. The petticoat of Maria still has a pleasant lightly browned gilding, while the dress is painted with a blue lacquer.
