Madonna with Child and an Apple. Carved wood. 75x27x15   Today we present one of our proudest works, it is an unique piece, carved in wood entirely by hand, in the piece have worked excellent craftsmen for many hours and have given it an excellent patina of gold and tempera. The figure represents the Mother of God with Child Jesus, it measures 75cm and has incredible details. The Mother of God holds her son in her left arm and in her right hand an apple. Engraved on the fruit is a cross-section of a star with five peaks, the Greek symbol of wisdom. In the Garden of Eden there is a tree: the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

This symbiosis is produced through various elements: ...

We know exactly who they are when we see the image of a slender knight with a peculiar helmet atop a gaunt horse and a peasant on a donkey. The sad figure of the Manchegan nobleman has transcended time and space, influencing literature, music, visual arts, even cinema or Broadway musicals. Four centuries after the publication of the two parts of the novel, its iconic image still accompanies us today. Bust of Don Quixote. 39cm The illustrious nobleman Don Quixote of La Mancha  is the masterpiece of the writer  Miguel de Cervantes,  and by extension, of Spanish literature.

He convinces a neighboring peasant, Sancho Panza, to...
