Description
The Enthroned Virgin and Child, wood sculpture, ca. 1130ââ¬â1140, Autun, Burgundy, France. The Virginââ¬â¢s proper right eye, made of blue glass, is original. The other eye is a recent replacement. This is one of only a few Romanesque sculptures in wood from Burgundy to survive. The patterning of the drapery and the heavy-lidded eyes relate this piece to the sculptures of the cathedral of Saint-Lazare at Autun. @The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
