Angelica Maria Bust 13" High | Eleganza

Angelica Maria Bust - This replica is cast alabaster dust mixed with a durable binding compound, each detail is finished with care by the artisans of Italy's Egregia Workshop. Mounted on a solid alabaster base. This beautiful bust of Angelica Maria gives us a worldly sensuality united with sweetly pious virtue and appealing simple beauty. This bust named Angelica Maria is a reproduction of the painting of Madonna by Fra Filippo Lippi. Painted and sculpted by countless artists over the years, the sweetly

pious Angelica Maria Sculptural Bust is inspired by a painting by Fra

Filippo Lippi. History tells us he convinced a convent to allow him to

paint a novice nun as the Holy Mother, then persuaded the maiden to run

away with him to the shame of her family and her order. Amidst this

dramatic tale of stolen love, the Virgin's beauty is epitomized from her

demurely downcast eyes to the gown draped across her softly curved

shoulders.
