About the Item

Carved wood depicting saint martin Origin : Germany Period : 15th century Measure: Height : 85 cm Wood Polychrome remains Good state of conservation Collection number on the back 26757 Our partially polychromed Saint is carved in the round. It is hollowed out in the back. In a noble posture, he stands upright. He offers the blessing with the right hand while with the left hand, he maintains his mantle with the deep and broken folds. The Saint is represented in the guise of a middle-aged man of rare beauty. His elongated face has a hyper realistic rendering thanks to the vigor of his features, his well-defined nose, his prominent cheekbones and his slightly hollowed cheeks. His expressive gaze is framed by finely crafted curly hair, like his symmetrical halved beard. He wears a hat with a wide brim in polychrome red and green, like that of a pilgrim. The sartorial fashion of this saint places him perfectly in his time with his pointed and flat shoes. He wears a short tunic belted at the waist, embroidered with fur at the collar and at the bottom. This is covered with a coat attached to the front by two cords. The particularly studied face and the quality of execution of the whole indicate an energetic chisel and a great skill.

Wood Sculpture Depicting John the Baptist

Located in Saint-Ouen, FR

This wood scultpure showing fine traces of polychromy depicts John the Baptist, one the Old Testament’s last prophets and the first martyr of the New Testament. He is easily recognizable with the lamb he is carrying in his left hand. The way the artist has carved the face exudes a spiritual strenght inherited from previous centuries. Description Saint John the Baptist is depicted bare feet, seated in a hieratic manner. His elongated face is marked by a beard and a moustache. The straight nose and wide eyes indicate a Spanish origin. This asumption is reaffirmed by the Saint’s resigned expression. His parted hair frames his face while uncovering his ears. He wears a round collar red-orange tunic, draped onto the body and belted at the waist. A flap of his green coat covers his knees and falls down in stylized pleats. Following iconographic rules Saint John the Baptist is pointing with his right hand the lamb seated...
