About the Item

IMPORTANT WOOD SCULPTURE, GOTHIC DEPICTION OF SAINT WENCESLAUS ORIGIN : CENTRAL EUROPE PERIOD : MID-15th CENTURY Height : 83 cm Length : 30 cm Depth : 20 cm Basswood Good condition Wenceslas I or Václav in Czech was one of the first Dukes of Bohemia. He belonged to the Přemyslides Dynasty who ruled over Bohemia from the beginning of the 10th century until 1306. He was assassinated in 929 or 935 under the order of his brother who wanted the dukeship for himself. He is associated with the christianization of the country which canonized him. He is one of the Patron Saints of Bohemia and Moravia. The Duke is represented here in arrogance on a rock pedastal. He stands, dressed in a haincelin, with girdle pleats and a rising collar, the belt falling below his hips. An ample overcoat rests on his shoulders, held by a buckle. The folds of his drape cascade to his left side. His regal bonnet sits a top an abudant head of curls that frame his face. He has a strong jaw, a thin nose, pinched lips, the corner of his eyelids are falling with wrinkles that convey grand nobility and vivacity.

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.
