Virgem e o Menino entronizados

ca. 1175–1200
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 304
Esta composição não é apenas a imagem de uma mãe e seu filho, uma vez que o Cristo menino sentado no colo da Virgem encarna a sabedoria divina. Para enfatizar a mensagem, Jesus estaria segurando um livro na mão. A beleza austera da escultura é aparente nas linhas rítmicas do traje da Virgem, no delicado véu emoldurando seu rosto e nos traços remanescentes da pintura, especialmente na almofada verde. Imagens similares eram usadas como objetos de devoção e levadas em procissões religiosas. É provável que essa escultura fosse um repositório de relíquias sagradas, já que tem duas cavidades: uma atrás do ombro e outra no peito da Virgem.
