SAINT BARBARA

Saint Barbara. Culture: German. Dimensions: 50 1/4 × 17 × 13 1/4 in., 63 lb. (127.6 × 43.2 × 33.7 cm, 28576.613g). Date: ca. 1490. This well-preserved figure of Saint Barbara came from the central shrine of the high altarpiece of the church of Saint Mauritius on the east side of the Rhine River, south of Strasbourg. The central shrine was dismantled prior to the early seventeenth century, and the sculptures were consigned to the charnel house in Kippenheim. The now-dispersed figures and the painted wings have survived, allowing for the reconstruction of the altarpiece. Dedicated to the Virgin, the central and larger group of the Virgin and Child occupied a niche of extended height and was flanked by Saints Mauritius and Catherine on the left and Saints Barbara and Gregory the Great on the right. The outer wings represented the Annunciation and the Visitation, and the inner wings showed the Nativity and the Adoration of the Shepherds. This sculpture retains much of its original paint and appliqué decoration; the red dress is enhanced with molded and gilt-wax brocade patterning, and the fine decoration on the mantle was achieved by etching through a transparent indigo layer over silver.

Título:
SAINT BARBARA
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Santa Bárbara. Cultura: alemán. Dimensiones: 50 1/4 × 17 × 13 1/4 pulg., 63 lb. (127,6 × 43,2 × 33,7 cm, 28576.613g). Fecha: ca. 1490. Esta figura bien conservada de Santa Bárbara procedía del relicario central del retablo mayor de la iglesia de San Mauricio en el lado este del río Rin, al sur de Estrasburgo. El santuario central fue desmantelado antes de principios del siglo XVII y las esculturas fueron enviadas al osario de Kippenheim. Las figuras ahora dispersas y las alas pintadas han sobrevivido, lo que permitió la reconstrucción del retablo. Dedicado a la Virgen, el grupo central y mayor de la Virgen y el Niño ocupaba una hornacina de gran altura y estaba flanqueado por los santos Mauricio y Catalina a la izquierda y los santos Bárbara y Gregorio Magno a la derecha. Las alas exteriores representaban la Anunciación y la Visitación, y las alas interiores la Natividad y la Adoración de los Pastores. Esta escultura conserva gran parte de su pintura original y decoración de apliques; el vestido rojo está realzado con un patrón de brocado moldeado y de cera dorada, y la fina decoración del manto se logró grabando a través de una capa de índigo transparente sobre plata.
