Summary

[edit]
Description

Hans Mülscher (active in Ulm from 1427 to 1467). The elevation of Maria Magdalena, around 1430. Walnut wood, painted. Saint Magdalena was one of Christ's closest confidants. She is said to have spent her life as a penitent in the wilderness: fed by angels who lifted her up to heaven every day, as here in Mülscher's portrayal. In doing so, you are placing selfless repentance at the center of an altar for which the figure was intended. The joy in the angels' facial expressions was unusually true to life in the art of that time. It allowed the believer to have emotional access to the heavenly happening.

Deutsch: Hans Mültscher (tätig in Ulm 1427 bis 1467). Die Erhebung der Maria Magdalena, um 1430. Walnussholz, gefasst. Die heilige Magdalena war eine der engsten vertrauten von Christus. Sie soll ihr Leben als Büßerin in der Einöde verbracht haben: von Engeln gespeist, die sie täglich zum Himmel emporhoben, wie hier bei Mültschers Darstellung. Damit setzt ihr die selbstlose Buße ins Zentrum eines Altars, für den die Figur bestimmt war. Die Freude in der Mimik der Engel war in der damaligen Kunst ungewohnt lebensnah. Sie erlaubte dem Gläubigen einen emotionalen Zugang zu dem himmlischen geschehen.
