Custom natural marble statue | Life-size stone sculpture
Silky hair flowing in tandem with a fabric hood, both secured into place by an iconic crown above a face that holds a dozen powerful emotions at once: is there any better challenge for a world-class marble sculptor, and is there any better subject for the medium than the Virgin Mary?
This holy sculpture is carved painstakingly with real Carrara marble from the mountains of Italy—appropriate given the immense inspiration it takes from traditional Roman styles—and is perhaps the most classic of all classic spiritual works of art in the western world. The Virgin Mary’s hooded eyes are cast downward, and we can clearly see the combination of pain and euphoria in those immaculately rendered marble eyes. It truly brings out the character of Mary, and the reason she is so revered and trusted among the faithful.
