Infant

Seated Infant Christ, Mechelen, ca. 1520. At an exhibition in Catharijne Convent, Utrecht.

 

Late Gothic sculptures of the Christ Child are numerous and exist in various forms. They owe their existence to the increasing veneration of the Christ Child by the Franciscan and Dominican orders in the thirteenth century.
