dbo:abstract
  • The Infant Jesus of Mechelen (French: l'Enfant Jésus de Malines) is an unadorned 16th-century wooden image depicting the Child Jesus holding a globus cruciger and imparting a blessing. It is now in the Louvre Museum in Paris, as a typical representative of a type of image produced in considerable numbers in 16th-century Mechelen (Malines, in modern Belgium) and exported all over the Catholic world. Among Santero collectors, the image is often referred to the "fraternal twin" of the Santo Niño de Cebú, with which it shares crucial similarities on posture, gesture, facial expression, and measurement. In September 2009, the image was privately acquired and now housed in the Louvre Museum under security glass. It is displayed naked without any regalia, accessories or vestments formerly associated with other Child Jesus icons. (en)
