MARIA MAGDALENE
A miniature reproduction of Niccollo Dell'Arca's lifesize terracotta figure Maria Magdalene
	::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Have you ever wanted your own miniature version of one of the famous art sculptures of Europe sitting on your coffee table or cabinet ? Well, here it is ! The italian renaissance sculptor Niccollo Dell'Arca created a life-size terracotta group called "Lamentation over the dead Christ" around 1464 in Bologna, Italy. Today the original stands in a church in Bologna, Italy. One of the six figures shows Maria Magdalene which I've chosen because of her ethereal appearance and her intense facial expression. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
on the right the original lifesize figure My Maria Magdalene is 6" high. She is a one-0f-a-kind figure entirely handmade by me. Her body is made of paper clay, her head and hands are made of polymer clay. She stands on a wooden base painted with a special coarse paint which gives it dimension. Her clothes are soft velvet-like fabric which I conditioned so it stay's firmly in place.
