Virgin and Child
- история:
- This refined and graceful sculpture was once part of an elaborate altar shrine (now lost) in the parish church of Krenstetten in Lower Austria.
- It is carved from a single piece of wood, hollowed out behind to prevent cracking.
- The quality of the carving is remarkable, as seen in the deep, looping folds of the Virgin’s mantle.
- Crowned as the Queen of Heaven, the Virgin - with Her gently swaying posture and delicate features - represents the epitome of idealized beauty.
- Other aspects of the sculpture are much more naturalistic, including the face of the crescent moon on which the Virgin stands.
- Centennial Purchase Fund, 1965.
