About the Item
This devotional wood carving represents the Virgin of Montserrat, also known as La Moreneta (the Black Madonna), one of Spain’s most venerated religious icons. The figure is hand carved in wood and modeled after the historic Romanesque sculpture enshrined at Santa Maria de Montserrat.
In this rendition, the Virgin is depicted holding the Christ Child rather than the traditional sphere, reflecting a variation commonly seen in artisanal devotional interpretations. The carving is intimate in scale, with a darkened, time-worn surface that enhances its folk character and spiritual presence. The restrained detailing and vertical proportions give the piece a quiet solemnity well suited to a personal altar, shelf display, or curated vignette.
The Virgin of Montserrat is the patroness saint of Catalonia, and hand-carved figures such as this were often produced for pilgrims and private devotion, blending regional tradition with individual craftsmanship.
