Virgin of Paris
The Virgin of Paris correctly titled ''Virgin and Child is a marble statue created in the early 14th century. The statue was commissioned for, and stands in the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. This art piece is an example of the court style in Late Gothic sculpture. It was nicknamed the Virgin of Paris because it stands in Paris, France.
The Virgin of Paris is a new style that is different from the classical contrapposto and is sometimes called one of the most decorative statues in all of Catholicism. It is in honor of the Blessed Virgin, mother of Jesus.〔Kleiner, Fred S. Gardner’s Art Through the Ages 13th Edition Volume 1. Boston: Thomson Wadsworth, 2009. Print.〕 It retains an emotional appeal that links it to the Strasbourg Death of the Virgin.
==Details==
In this sculpture, Mary is shown standing, holding her son, Jesus Christ, against her body. Unlike previous renditions of this couple, both are naturalistic, with recognizable facial features. As usual in most religious sculptural depictions of the Holy mother and child of this time, Jesus does not look like a baby, but rather a miniature adult. However, the artist tried to combat this by giving the child the mannerisms of an infant as he plays with his mother’s veil and holds a ball. Mary stands in royal dress and a crown, depicting her as royalty. The ball her son holds is also an allusion to their royalty and holiness. The ball or orb in Christ’s hands is a reference to Christ as Salvator Mundi, or Savior of the World. The orb symbolizes Earth, and how Christ is king of the entire world.〔"The End of Europe’s Middle Ages.” The Applied History Research Group. University of Calgary, 1998. Web. 3 Mar. 2012. .〕
