Statue of the Virgin and Child in the Cloisters, October 2009

Statue of the Virgin and Child in the Cloisters, October 2009

Virgin and Child
Lindenwood with paint and gilding
Austria, Salzburg, about 1420

Accession Number: 65.215.2

The ample robes and golden crown of the Virgin Mary give her a regal appearance; her full, round face and neck show her as the healthy young mother of a robust baby boy. This type of sculpture, known as a Beautiful Madonna (Schone Madonna), was very popular in central Europe around 1400. Created in stone, wood, or sometimes precious metal, images of the Beautiful Madonna range from over life-size to tiny statuettes. Examples can still be found in churches from Poland to North Italy, and as far west as the Rhineland.
