STATUE OF PIETA JESUS AND MOTHER MARY AFTER THE CRUCIFICTION HAND MADE BY NUNS:
$275.00

ON A RECENT EasterN CANADIAN \'DRIVE-ABOUT\', WE CAME ACROSS SEVERAL PIECES OF RELIGIOUS STATUARY THAT ARE SIMPLY AMAZING AND SO VERY BEAUTIFUL (AND, OBVIOUSLY, WE COULDN\'T RESIST BRINGING HOME FOR YOU!) PURCHASED FROM A CONVENT LOCAL TO THE AREA (THE NUNS HAVE MOST HUMBLY REQUESTED WE NOT DISCLOSE THEIR LOCATION), THESE STATUES ARE IMPRESSIVE IN EVERY RESPECT AND ARE THE RESULT OF A TRUE LABOUR OF LOVE. EACH YEAR A GROUP OF VERY TALENTED NUNS COME TOGETHER TO PRODUCE A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF HAND-MADE AND PAINTED PIECES OF EACH OF THE SAINTS AND VARIOUS RELIGIOUS FIGURES FROM THE CHURCH\'S HISTORY.THIS PRECIOUS GROUP OF NUNS DO ALL OF THE WORK FROM MOLDING THE STATUES TO HAND PAINTING AND DECORATING EACH PIECE (THEY EVEN MAKE THEIR OWN BOXES... SIMPLY INSPIRING!). WE WERE TOLD THAT EACH PIECE IS A COLABERATED EFFORT OF 15 NUNS EACH CONTRIBUTING THEIR EXPERTISE WITH MANY HOURS OF LOVE , FAITH AND DEVOTION GOING INTO THE CRAFTING OF EACH AND EVERY STATUE. NO TWO PIECES ARE IDENTICAL AND THIS IS AN AGE-OLD CRAFT THAT WILL NOT BE CONTINUED FOR MANY MORE YEARS AS THERE ARE SO FEW NEW NUNS COMING INTO THE \'FOLD\' TO ACCEPT THE \'TORCH\' SO TO SAY. TRULY YOU ARE CERTAIN TO BE AMAZED BY THE BEAUTY (NOT TO MENTION THE LOVE YOU CAN\'T HELP BUT FEEL EMANATING FROM THEM). THIS PARTICULAR OFFERING IS A STATUE OF PIETA This famous work of art depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion. The theme is of Northern origin, popular by that time in France but not yet in Italy. Michelangelo\'s interpretation of the Pietà is unprecedented in Italian sculpture. It is an important work as it balances the Renaissance ideals of classical beauty with naturalism. WHICH MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 11\" HEIGHT BY 12\" WIDTH BY 8\" DEPTH

THIS PIECE WILL BE PROFESSIONALLY PACKED AND SHIPPED INSURED TO YOUR DOOR.
