Beautiful pedestal in polychrome and gilded... - Lot 42 - Thierry de Maigret
Beautiful pedestal in polychrome and gilded carved lime wood. Of pyramidal composition. The Virgin is praying above her son's body. Mary is dressed in a long dress. A long and wide veil delicately surrounds her oval face, which is very finely carved. Christ rests on Mary's robe, the one with loose, wavy hair that falls on her right shoulder. His body is lifeless. The draperies of the clothes are of high quality and a great realism thanks to a treatment of flat surfaces, small broken and deep folds. South Germany around 1500 (Missing the left foot of Christ, worn, missing polychromy. The wood played on the shoulders) H: 33 - L: 34 cm Good quality of execution. Bibliography: "Devotion & Seduction" Swabian sculptures from the museums of France around 1460-1530. By Sophie Guillot de Suduiraut- Louvres editions 2015. P.251 fig.16 "Daniel Mauch's workshop" (face to be compared to that of the Virgin Mary)
