Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Strasbourg (?), Around 1475
Our Lady on the crescent moon. Limewood. The small figure of the Virgin was used for private devotion. Face and hair are worn from kissing. The aspect of use therefore took precedence over the artistic value of the figure, which shows a high degree of technical mastery. Despite the small format, the robe forms a complicated structure of spatial layers with which the artist demonstrates all his skills. Works like these are the forerunners of the Kunstkammer objects that have filled the royal courts since the 16th century.
Deutsch: Strassburg (?), um 1475
Muttergottes auf der Mondsichel. Lindenholz. Die kleine Marienfigur diente der privaten Andacht. Gesicht und Haare sind vom Küssen abgegriffen. Der Nutzungsaspekt stand demnach vor dem künstlerischen Wert der Figur, die ein Höchstmaß an technischer Beherrschung erkennen lässt. Trotz des kleinen Formates bildet das Gewand ein kompliziertes Gefüge räumlicher Schichten, mit dem der Künstler sein ganzes Können demonstriert. In Werken wie diesen liegen die Vorläufer der Kunstkammerobjekte, die seit dem 16. Jahrhundert die Fürstenhöfe füllten. |
