The figures, all individual saints, were made from reference models using highly regulated carving and polychrome techniques. They had to meet several requirements. The shape of the rug had to meet certain criteria and the letter M (from Mechelen) had to be visible in the shape. These devotional or saint figurines...

Laocoön And His Sons By Adriaen De Vries

Laocoön And His Sons By Adriaen De Vries

Located in New Orleans, LA

Adriaen de Vries 1556-1626 Dutch Laocoön and His Sons Bronze A remarkable feat of artistry and skill, this bronze sculpture was created by famed Dutch artist Adriaen de Vries. Full of the swelling emotions and dramatic posing so quintessential to the period, the bronze is a masterclass in Baroque sculpture. The original Laocoön marble sculpture, after which this remarkable bronze was modeled, unquestionably influenced the lives and works of countless artists, authors, popes, kings and emperors since its re-discovery in 1506. Famously, Michelangelo declared the sculpture, created circa 35 BC, as the “greatest piece of art in the world.” Adriaen de Vries, an apprentice of the great sculptor Giambologna, undoubtedly sought to prove his skill and creative voice with his own depiction of this most famous scene. Known for his virtuosic casting technique, this rare and important sculpture embodies de Vries’ mastery. The story of Laocoön is one of the most famous in all of literature. As told by the poet Virgil, the Greeks, after an unsuccessful ten-year siege on the city of Troy, the Greeks craftily left a giant wooden horse outside the gates...

Located in Wien, Wien

HANS SIXT VON STAUFEN Perimeter "Birth of Christ" Upper Rhine Around 1520 Wood relief Length 58 cm, height 50 cm, Depth 18 cm This museum relief can be attributed to the circle of the late Gothic master sculptor Hans Sixt von Staufen, who demonstrably worked from about 1515 to 1532, this being evident from archival evidence. In Staufen he probably ran a workshop, influenced by the carvings of the Würzburg School. He was probably also familiar with works by Tilmann Riemenschneider (ca. 1460-1531), who elaborately executed the surfaces in a similar manner. The Holy Family is depicted in the foreground: Mary and Joseph frame the baby Jesus lying on Mary’s cloak. Between them are shown two figures in religious habitus, greatly reduced in size in meaning, who are possibly to be identified as the donors of the relief. Behind it, the ox and donkey look down on the central action from behind the fence of the stable...
