About the piece

Created in 1855 by Franz Ittenbach, a prominent member of the Nazarene movement, this work reflects a mid-19th-century return to the purity of medieval and Renaissance religious art. The Virgin Mary is depicted with a gentle, contemplative expression, her figure framed by an arched composition and symbolic botanical elements including white lilies for purity and roses for love. The porcelain-smooth finish and balanced palette of dusty rose and deep blue make this a timeless piece of devotional art.
