Our Lady with Child and grapes seated

Grapes Madonna with Child (seated) – baroque wood carving

The Grapes Madonna with Child in a seated posture is a baroque-inspired Marian figure that conveys deep symbolic meaning. Mary holds the Child Jesus on her lap, who carries a cluster of grapes – a classic symbol of the Eucharist and the sacrifice of Christ.

This depiction is based on a traditional Val Gardena design from around 1910 and is one of the most important religious motifs in the woodcarving art of the region. The seated pose gives the scene a particularly intimate and serene character, while the child appears natural and lively.

This sculpture is crafted with fine artisan skill in Val Gardena from high-quality maple wood – a dense, fine-grained wood ideal for detailed carvings. The figure is available in various finishes: natural, waxed, stained, or hand-painted.

This Madonna is ideal for home altars, chapels, or as a special religious gift. It combines artisan tradition with deep spiritual meaning.
