Eric Claus - The Blue Cloak Madonna
Eric Claus - The Blue Cloak Madonna
This understated bronze sculpture by Eric Claus depicts a Madonna figure wrapped in a flowing cloak that drapes around her like a protective envelope. The slightly stooped posture and the open cloak suggest warmth, security, and a gentle spiritual presence. The deep blue patina, enriched with copper accents, gives the sculpture a rich and almost mystical aura.
The modeling is raw and expressive, allowing the surface to remain vibrant and reveal ever-changing details in changing light. Despite its modest size, the sculpture has a powerful presence thanks to its compact form and clear, flowing contours. Claus's characteristic symbolism and refinement are clearly recognizable: the work feels both modern and timeless, with a strong emotional resonance.
This unique sculpture exudes peace, protection, and a quiet devotion. It's an ideal work of art for lovers of religiously inspired bronzes with a contemporary, expressive signature, and it looks stunning in both modern and classic interiors.
