Madonna of Bruges by Michelangelo Museum Replica Statue by Museum Replicas
The Madonna of Bruges depicts the Virgin Mary and Child in a manner significantly different from earlier representations, showcasing a Virgin who does not cling to her son or even look at him but gazes down and away. At the same time, Jesus stands upright, almost unsupported. This design reflects the High Renaissance Pyramid style, reminiscent of the works of Leonardo da Vinci from the late 1400s, and shares similarities with Michelangelo's Pietà, especially in Mary's flowing robe and the movement of the drapery.
This meticulously crafted replica brings to life Michelangelo's renowned masterpiece, the Madonna of Bruges, which allows art enthusiasts to experience the beauty and elegance of this divine sculpture in their own space. Measuring 9 inches in height, 4.25 inches in width, and 3.5 inches in depth, this exquisite piece is a compact representation of the original marble sculpture, which is housed in the Church of Our Lady in Bruges, Belgium.
Historical Significance:
This sculpture is notable as it was the first work by Michelangelo to leave Italy during his lifetime, purchased in 1504 by Giovanni and Alessandro Moscheroni, wealthy cloth merchants in Bruges. The original piece has witnessed significant historical events, including being removed twice from Belgium—once by French Revolutionaries in 1794 and again during World War II by German soldiers. It was subsequently recovered and returned to its rightful place, symbolizing resilience and enduring artistic value.
Material:
Constructed from high-quality para stone, a unique casting stone blended with resin and marble sand, this replica embodies the delicate details and intricate design of Michelangelo's original work, offering a harmonious balance between durability and aesthetic appeal.
Art lovers, historians, and those with an appreciation for Renaissance art will find this replica a valuable addition to their collection, serving as a constant reminder of Michelangelo's innovative approach to depicting divine entities and his unparalleled contribution to the world of art.
This reproduction of the Madonna of Bruges with Baby Jesus Statue is part of the Parastone Museum Collection. Made from cast stone, white with subtle grey veins to evoke marble, description card included, and measures: 9"H x 4.25"W x 3.5"D.
Michelangelo, Italian Master (1475-1564):
As an artist, sculptor, architect, and poet Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was the archetype of the Renaissance artist, the universal man (uomo universale).
As the son of the mayor of Caprese, he spent all his time drawing, much to his father's chagrin. His mother died young and he was raised by a nanny who was married to a sculptor. Michelangelo proved to be so talented that as a fifteen year old he was noticed by the powerful artists' patron Lorenzo de Medici. His creativity and work ethic were unstoppable. He sculpted two of his most famous works before he was 30: The Pieta and the colossal sculpture of David.
A number of years later, he had made such a name for himself that Pope Julius II asked him to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The artist spent four long years painting the frescoes which garnered admiration from all for their emotional expressiveness and their terribilita. His groundbreaking style was later considered the inspiration for Mannerism. ll Divino was a living legend, the first artist to have a biography written about him whilst still alive. However, he was not a pleasant human. Contemporaries described him as a manic, rough, arrogant and sober-living, grumpy man, who only lived for his art.
