MADONNA OF THE STREETS STATUE - 9 1/2"
Beautiful statue of the Madonna of the Streets "Madonna della Strade". The original painting was created by Roberto Ferruzzi (1854-1934). The story told by Ferruzzi was that he saw a young girl and was struck by her beauty. He asked her mother if he could take a photograph of her. Her mother agreed, her baby brother was placed in her arms, and the artist painted them. Though not originally a religious picture, it became popularized as the image of the Virgin Mary holding her infant son.
