Description
A beautiful addition to a contemporary church.
The original sandstone sculpture from the 15th Century stands in the Saint Anna Chapel in the Basilica of the Assumption of Mary in Danzig (Gdansk, Poland). Jesus sits lightly in his mother’s right arm and stretches out to an apple Mary holds in her left hand. The gestures echo the story of the forbidden fruit in Genesis, but now pointing to a reversal of the curse.
