Sculpture For Christmas

 

 

The Christ Child

The Christ Child
By Mike Chapman



I so love this sculpture!

This beautiful sculpture lies in the heart of London.

It is called 'The Christ Child' and was commissioned

 to celebrate the Millennium by commemorating the

birth of Christ. It is by the talented sculptor

 Mike Chapman and is positioned beneath the portico

 of St Martin In The Fields just off Trafalgar Square.

I love the way that the child is portrayed, attached

 to its umbilical cord on a huge and rough

Portland Stone. For me it seems to suggest a beautiful

child at the moment of birth arriving into an

imperfect and harsh world.

What does it say to you?
