"CRESCENT MOON"
Around 1480/90
Stone pine wood carved
Original version
Height 77 cm
This extremely high-quality Madonna figure (77 cm) made of pine wood shows typical features of the great workshop of the late Gothic sculptor Hans Klocker. The Tyrolean carver was mainly active in the Bressanone and Bolzano area. He is one of the most important artists of South Tyrol of the late 15th century.
This Madonna is stylistically related to the famous Tramin Altar (1485-90) in the Bavarian National Museum and has an exceedingly similar quality of carving.
Klocker’s oeuvre is characterized by block-like closed bodies and detailed realism. Mary’s restrainedly moving body is rendered particularly dynamic and majestic by the voluminous crease configurations of the drapery of the overgarment. The masterful rendering of the drapery is characteristic of this Austrian carver of the late Gothic period, who borrowed from Hans Multscher and Michael Pacher. Particularly noteworthy is the “folded in” above the knee of the right foot, which is placed on the face on the crescent moon. The figures on the wing reliefs of the Tramin altar are particularly comparable:
The broad folded-over inside of the coat is also presented in angular bowl pleats, a dynamic counterpoint to the veil draped over the head that is often seen in Klocker’s figures. Underneath, long locks of hair resting on the shoulders emerge, carved in typical late Gothic style. The crescent moon with a large face consisting of a prominent nose, high cheekbones and bulging lips should also be highlighted.
The naked baby Jesus, whom Mary seems to cradle in her arms with a tender gesture, holds a globe and is depicted in a jaunty sideways position, almost as if he were kicking his little feet and arms. The child’s snail-like curls frame a chubby face typical of the period. In addition, Klocker’s figures are characterized by thin crescent-shaped brows, large eyes, plump faces with small chins and ring-shaped neck wrinkles. Through these skin folds, the humanity of the characters is emphasized, as well as a degree of realism is introduced.

MASTER ANGEL
Museum sculpture of the master of Mauer
Austrian Danube Region
Around 1500/20
Lime wood, carved full round
Height 55 cm
Provenance:
Hofstätter Collection, Vienna
The masterful sculpture was made in the workshop of the master of the altar of Mauer around 1500 in Lower Austria. It can be located in the context of the Danube school of the first third of the 16th century, was carved from limewood and is 55 cm tall. Since there are no attributes or context, it is an unknown figure of a carved altar.
The master of the altar of Mauer is an anonymous Gothic carver who was active between 1500 and 1525 and received this so-called emergency name through the altar for the parish and pilgrimage church of Mauer near Melk. This winged altar was probably commissioned by Göttweig Abbey in the 1470s and is made of lime wood. It shows an expression in the transition from late Gothic to early Renaissance and is considered the most important carved altar in Lower Austria, created between 1510-15.
The figure presented here is very related in its design to the figures of the altar of Mauer. In lively-moving form, the male figure turns his upper body to the right, with his head pointing upward, probably toward the sky. The right leg in lunge emerges from under the frock...
