It had originally been intended for the Cathedral of Siena.The movement of the child, with its hair sculpted away from the body of the statue and Mary's robe herald the transition to the Baroque period which emphasized dynamism and expression. This reproduction of the Madonna of Bruges with Baby Jesus Statue make a perfect religious gift.
