ANTIQUE PIETÀ

This miniature artwork represents the Pietà, an image of the Virgin Mary holding the dead Christ in her arms. The figure is carved from wood and polychromed, meaning it was carefully painted with vibrant colors that enhance the details and add depth and realism to the overall image. Though somewhat naïve due to its small size, this piece possesses a special charm. The polychromy, despite its age, is in excellent condition, which speaks to the artist’s skill and the quality of the materials used.

Miniatures like this were often used for personal devotion and served as the focal point of private altars or chapels.

This rare and valuable Pietà is an important example of Baroque religious art and represents the deep spiritual and cultural heritage of the 18th century.
