Allegory of Abundance - Lot 30
Allegory of Abundance marble, traces of polychromy; on a later base in yellow marble Flanders, 16th century Height (total) (total) : 45,5 cm, height (base) : 11,2 cm (base) : 11,2 cm (wear and tear, the head of the Child redone) This allegorical figure of Abundance or Charity Charity, one of the three theological virtues, derives from both from both the Christian iconography of the Virgin and Child and the pagan representations of Ceres, goddess of fertility fertility symbolized by the horn of plenty. The subject and the physical characteristics of this female figure, with female figure, with stocky and graceful proportions at the same time, bring it closer to the productions of French Flanders and Hainaut, around Cambrai, Arras, and Mons under of Jacques Du Brœucq (ca. 1505-1584).
