Vierge à l'Enfant en majesté

ca. 1150–75
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 14
Cette sculpture dégage une puissance considérable malgré la disparition de la tête de Jésus et d’une grande partie du trône. À l’origine, la pièce était richement colorée : des traces de peinture montrent que la Vierge portait une tunique vert forêt à manchettes vermillon et un voile couleur lapis-lazuli. Jésus était vêtu d’un vêtement rouge et d’une tunique jaune. La couverture de son livre était bleue et les côtés étaient blancs et noirs. Le visage allongé de la Vierge et le drapé de ses vêtements rappellent les sculptures de la cathédrale Saint-Lazare à Autun.
