Hl. Maria

3D Model

Statue of Mary with Child above the archway at the entrance to the Basilica in Loreto. Both figures wear crowns, referring to the tradition of Regina Caeli (Queen of Heaven). Mary’s gesture—her right hand raised slightly—is consistent with classical depictions of the Blessing Madonna or the Maestà. The long, closed dress with plant ornaments is typical of Baroque and post-Baroque stone figures in eastern Austria. The infant Jesus sits sideways on her arm, a style that was particularly widespread in the Habsburg Monarchy in the 17th–19th centuries.
