Bulio joined the fine arts and exhibited at the Salon in 1859, he obtained honorable mention in 1882 and 1886. The Madonna is represented in contemplation. Her face with delicate features is highlighted by the veil that covers her head and shoulders. The drape is finely chiselled. On her chest  an inflamed heart, the Sacred Heart. This symbol, dear to Christians shines with divine light and bleeds with the blood of Christ. This gorgeous bust signed on the back by the artist  is a charismatic and inspired work.
