Madonna and child,
Bavaria, c. 1740 - 60, Mary standing atop a globe with her foot on a snake, slightly bent forward to hold the standing Christ child by his arm, lime wood, carved in the round, polychrome painted and gilt, height 80 cm, (MC)
Unusual here is the sculptor’s interpretation of the image of the Madonna of Victory. It seems as if Mary is supporting the Christ child in his first steps and is overall more reminiscent of representations of the ‘Holy Family walking’ motif rather than the ‘Madonna of Victory’ type.
