Madonna with Child and an Apple. Carved wood. 75x27x15

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. Wisdom therefore symbolises both connotations in the apple. The depiction of the Virgin and Child in this way leads us to the idea of the wisdom of the Son of God.

Notes for the creation of a neoclassical garden. Nature and sculpture

Image
  Even today, in many of our cities, there are still public parks and gardens created in the neoclassical period and the romanticism of the 19th century, and they are true havens of peace and coexistence in the very heart of the agitation of the city. The union of nature with the works of art created by humans goes hand in hand with the history of human culture. We speak of gardens, open spaces, more or less ordered, or as in the case of romantic gardens, with the appearance of wild and spontaneous nature, although delicately studied. The spirit of this union between mother nature and the love of sculpture is also taken to more intimate spaces in private gardens, small plots, even terraces. The garden thus becomes a sort of natural-cultural art, a union of the beauty of nature and classical art, where sculptures and architectural elements coexist with trees, shrubs and plants of great beauty. This symbiosis is produced through various elements: ...
