About the Item
Sculpted in walnut wood
In Germany the use of walnut was quite rare, in some cities in Northern Germany such as Lüneberg and Hamburg the use of walnut was allowed by gild regulations)
We like to thank Michael Rief of the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum in Aachen, Germay, for his help.
Saint Anne was the mother of Mary, the wife of Joachim and the maternal grandmother of Jesus. St. Anne Trinity was a type of iconography depicting the 3 geerations of Saint Anne, Mary and the child Jesus. Emphasizing the humanity of Jesus, it drew on on the earlier conventions of the the Seat of Wisdom, and was popular in Northern Germany in the 1500s.
Saint Anne is patroness of unmarried women, housewives, women in labor or who want to be pregnant, grandmothers, mothers and educators. She is also a patroness of horseback riders, cabinet-makers and miners. As the mother of Mary, this devotion to Saint Anne as the patron of miners arises from the medieval comparison between Mary and Christ and the precious metals silver and gold.
