View through Europeana Collections
After 1609, mass-produced pipe-clay statuettes of the Virgin underwent a revival. In that year, a medieval statue from Utrecht was found at Foy in the Ardennes when an old oak was felled. The miraculous power of the Notre-Dame de Foy attracted countless pilgrims for whom statues such as this one, based on a medieval model, were made as luxury souvenirs.
