HUBERT GERHARD. PIETA

Pietà. Artist: Hubert Gerhard (Netherlandish, 1540/50-1621, active Germany). Culture: German. Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 11 5/8 × 6 1/2 × 7 1/2 in. (29.5 × 16.5 × 19.1 cm). Date: after 1595.
The jarring loss of Christ's arm, as well as the awkwardness of his head and Mary's right hand, was caused during the casting of this statuette in bronze. Despite the value of the easily reclaimable raw material, the Pietà was never melted down. The reason for this lies in the prestige of its artist and the beauty of his design, which endures even with the casting's failure. Working primarily in terracotta, Gerhard never cast his own bronzes. Probably trained in Florence, he enjoyed an exalted reputation in part thanks to his patrons, who included the phenomenally wealthy Fugger family of merchants and Emperor Rudolf II's brother, Archduke Maximilian III.
[Elizabeth Cleland, 2017].
