15" relief sculpture, cast in high quality resin and hand painted with a bronze finish, brass hanger on the back. The theme of Death and the Maiden stems from an age where the fragility of life was ever present. While the danse macabre theme emphasizes how mortality affects all of humanity, regardless of social status, Death and the Maiden introduces an element of sensuality and eroticism. The skeletal eombodiment of Death contrasts with the vibrant, lush flesh of youth in an embrace. His fingers comb through her hair in a caress that also draws her closer to him. The Maiden both twists away from him and yields to his enveloping cloak, his gentle but irresistible pull. Embrace the haunting beauty of "Death and the Maiden" with this exquisitely detailed resin wall plaque. The sculpture captures the timeless and poignant theme of mortality, featuring a skeletal figure in a billowing cloak gently embracing a nude, languid female figure holding a flowing drapery. This dramatic scene is framed by an intricately designed medieval Gothic arch, evoking the rich aesthetics of classical art, Gothic, and Renaissance themes. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this piece is a striking addition to any collection of Gothic decor or classical art. Perfect for those who appreciate the interplay between life and death, this wall plaque serves as a stunning centerpiece for any room, embodying the elegance and solemnity of medieval and Renaissance art.
