Enthroned Virgin and Child

Spanish

On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 08

This imposing sculpture, with much of its medieval surface decoration preserved, depicts the Virgin as the Throne of Wisdom. Originally, the group was part of a tabernacle with movable wings that could be opened or closed at will during different seasons of the church year.
