Museum Madonna
\nNikolaus Weckmann
\nUlm 1481\u20131526 Ulm
\nCarved from linden wood
\nPolychromed and gilded
\nHeight 132 cm<\/p>\n

Niklaus Weckmann was a prominent sculptor active in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, primarily in the southern German city of Ulm. Famous for his detailed wood carvings, Weckmann is associated with the Ulm School, which combined elements of late Gothic realism with the emerging ideals of the Renaissance.
\nHis workshop produced numerous religious sculptures, altarpieces, and devotional figures that played a significant role in the art scene of his time. Weckmann\u2019s works are characterized by lifelike details, emotional depth, and a refined treatment of drapery.
\nThis Madonna by Niklaus Weckmann is a masterful depiction of the Virgin Mary, distinguished by both elegance and complexity. It is comparable to the wing relief of the former high altar of the parish church in Attenhofen, dating from around 1515 (now in the Ulm Museum). Mary is depicted standing gracefully, holding the naked Christ Child in her arms. Her eyes are cast slightly downward, likely to engage the viewer in a subtle, contemplative manner. She wears a traditional veil, draped halfway over her long, wavy hair styled in typical Gothic curls, which underscores both her virginal status and her maternal dignity. This is a characteristic feature of Weckmann\u2019s work, as is the woodpecker hole in the head of the figure of Mary.
\nThe drapery of her robe is extremely detailed and demonstrates Weckmann\u2019s ability to create different textures\u2014ranging from smooth, \u201cwet\u201d folds to more voluminous and dynamic folds. Mary stands on a crescent moon, a symbol of her Immaculate Conception, which is often associated with depictions of the Woman of the Apocalypse. This iconographic element further underscores her divine status and her role as Queen of Heaven.
\nThe Infant Jesus is highlighted by the large bowl fold of Mary\u2019s cloak. Mary does not touch the child directly but uses the cloak to present him to the viewer. This subtle detail emphasizes Christ\u2019s divine nature and underscores his dignity as one worthy of presentation. Jesus sits diagonally across Mary\u2019s arm with his small, chubby feet crossed, lending the composition a touch of naturalism and innocence. In his left hand, he holds a globe symbolizing his role as Salvator Mundi, the Savior of the World, while his right hand is raised in a gesture of blessing or speaking. His expression is lively, with slightly parted lips and alert eyes, complemented by rosy cheeks that bring the figure to life.
\nThis sculpture embodies the stylistic characteristics of the Late Gothic period, which is characterized by realistic details and an emphasis on the humanity of devotional figures. The intricate folds of Mary\u2019s robe and the lifelike facial expressions of both figures reflect Weckmann\u2019s ability to capture both the spiritual significance and the human warmth of his subjects.<\/p>\n

Mary and the Infant Jesus are not only an object of devotion but also a testament to the sculptor\u2019s technical skill and artistic sensibility, which make him a significant figure in the development of German sculpture during the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance.

Madonna","post_content":"Museale Madonna\r\nNikolaus Weckmann\r\nUlm 1481 - 1526 Ulm\r\nLindenholz geschnitzt\r\nPolychrom gefasst & vergoldet\r\nH\u00f6he 132 cm\r\n\r\nNiklaus Weckmann war ein bedeutender Bildhauer, der im sp\u00e4ten 15. und fr\u00fchen 16. Jahrhundert vor allem in der s\u00fcddeutschen Stadt Ulm t\u00e4tig war. Ber\u00fchmt f\u00fcr seine detaillierten Schnitzarbeiten aus Holz, wird Weckmann mit der Ulmer Schule in Verbindung gebracht, die Elemente des sp\u00e4tgotischen Realismus mit den aufkommenden Idealen der Renaissance verband. In seiner Werkstatt entstanden zahlreiche religi\u00f6se Skulpturen, Altarbilder und Andachtsfiguren, die eine bedeutende Rolle in der Kunstlandschaft seiner Zeit spielten. Weckmanns Werke zeichnen sich durch naturgetreue Details, emotionale Tiefe und eine raffinierte Behandlung der Draperie aus.\r\nDiese Madonna von Niklaus Weckmann ist eine meisterhafte Darstellung der Jungfrau Maria, die sich sowohl durch Eleganz als auch durch Komplexit\u00e4t auszeichnet. Sie ist vergleichbar mit jener des Fl\u00fcgelreliefs des ehemaligen Hochaltars der Pfarrkirche Attenhofen um 1515 (jetzt Museum Ulm). Maria ist anmutig stehend dargestellt und pr\u00e4sentiert das nackte Christuskind in ihren Armen. Ihre Augen sind leicht nach unten gerichtet, wahrscheinlich um den Betrachter in einer subtilen, kontemplativen Weise anzusprechen. Sie tr\u00e4gt einen traditionellen Schleier, der halb \u00fcber ihr langes, gewelltes und in typisch gotischen Locken frisiertes Haar gelegt ist und sowohl ihren jungfr\u00e4ulichen Status als auch ihre m\u00fctterliche W\u00fcrde unterstreicht. Dies ist ein charakteristisches Merkmal von Weckmann, ebenso wie das Spechtloch am Kopf der Marienfigur.\r\nDie Drapierung ihres Gewandes ist \u00e4u\u00dferst detailliert und zeigt Weckmanns F\u00e4higkeit, unterschiedliche Texturen zu schaffen \u2013 von glatten, \u201enassen\u201c Falten bis hin zu volumin\u00f6seren und dynamischen Faltenkonfigurationen. Maria steht auf einem Halbmond, einem Symbol ihrer unbefleckten Empf\u00e4ngnis, das oft mit Darstellungen der apokalyptischen Frau in Verbindung gebracht wird. Dieses ikonografische Element unterstreicht weiters ihren g\u00f6ttlichen Status und ihre Rolle als K\u00f6nigin des Himmels.\r\nDas Jesuskind wird durch die gro\u00dfe Sch\u00fcsselfalte von Marias Mantel hervorgehoben. Maria ber\u00fchrt das Kind nicht direkt, sondern nutzt den Mantel, um es dem Betrachter zu pr\u00e4sentieren. Dieses subtile Detail unterstreicht die g\u00f6ttliche Natur Christi und unterstreicht dessen Pr\u00e4sentationsw\u00fcrdigkeit. Jesus sitzt schr\u00e4g auf Marias Arm und hat seine kleinen pummeligen F\u00fc\u00dfe gekreuzt, was der Komposition einen Hauch von Naturalismus und Unschuld verleiht. In seiner linken Hand h\u00e4lt er eine Kugel, die seine Rolle als Salvator Mundi, als Retter der Welt, symbolisiert, w\u00e4hrend seine rechte Hand in einer segnenden oder sprechenden Geste erhoben ist. Sein Ausdruck ist lebhaft, mit leicht ge\u00f6ffneten Lippen und wachen Augen, die durch die ger\u00f6teten Wangen komplementiert werden und die Figur zum Leben erwecken.\r\nDiese Skulptur verk\u00f6rpert die stilistischen Merkmale der Sp\u00e4tgotik, die sich durch realistische Details und die Betonung der Menschlichkeit der Andachtsfiguren auszeichnet. Die komplexen Falten des Gewandes Marias und die lebensechte Mimik der beiden Figuren spiegeln Weckmanns F\u00e4higkeit wider, sowohl die spirituelle Bedeutung als auch die menschliche W\u00e4rme seiner Motive einzufangen. Maria und das Jesuskind bilden nicht nur ein Andachtsobjekt, sondern auch ein Zeugnis des handwerklichen K\u00f6nnens und des k\u00fcnstlerischen Empfindens des Bildhauers, das ihn zu einer bedeutenden Figur in der Entwicklung der deutschen Bildhauerei am \u00dcbergang von der Gotik zur Renaissance macht.\r\nLiteratur:\r\nBarbara Maier-L\u00f6rcher, Meisterwerke Ulmer Kunst, Ostfildern 2004.\r\nBrigitte Reinhardt (Hrsg.), Michel Erhart & J\u00f6rg Syrlin d. \u00c4.: Sp\u00e4tgotik in Ulm, Ulm 2002.\r\nBarbara Sch\u00e4uffelen und Joachim Feist, Ulm: Portr\u00e4t einer Stadtlandschaft, Stuttgart 1987."},"en":{"id":"337429","post_title":"Museum Madonna","post_content":"<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-895eb11 elementor-widget elementor-widget-theme-post-title elementor-page-title elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"895eb11\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"theme-post-title.default\">\r\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\r\n\r\nMuseum Madonna\r\nNikolaus Weckmann\r\nUlm 1481\u20131526 Ulm\r\nCarved from linden wood\r\nPolychromed and gilded\r\nHeight 132 cm\r\n\r\nNiklaus Weckmann was a prominent sculptor active in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, primarily in the southern German city of Ulm. Famous for his detailed wood carvings, Weckmann is associated with the Ulm School, which combined elements of late Gothic realism with the emerging ideals of the Renaissance.\r\nHis workshop produced numerous religious sculptures, altarpieces, and devotional figures that played a significant role in the art scene of his time. Weckmann\u2019s works are characterized by lifelike details, emotional depth, and a refined treatment of drapery.\r\nThis Madonna by Niklaus Weckmann is a masterful depiction of the Virgin Mary, distinguished by both elegance and complexity. It is comparable to the wing relief of the former high altar of the parish church in Attenhofen, dating from around 1515 (now in the Ulm Museum). Mary is depicted standing gracefully, holding the naked Christ Child in her arms. Her eyes are cast slightly downward, likely to engage the viewer in a subtle, contemplative manner. She wears a traditional veil, draped halfway over her long, wavy hair styled in typical Gothic curls, which underscores both her virginal status and her maternal dignity. This is a characteristic feature of Weckmann\u2019s work, as is the woodpecker hole in the head of the figure of Mary.\r\nThe drapery of her robe is extremely detailed and demonstrates Weckmann\u2019s ability to create different textures\u2014ranging from smooth, \u201cwet\u201d folds to more voluminous and dynamic folds. Mary stands on a crescent moon, a symbol of her Immaculate Conception, which is often associated with depictions of the Woman of the Apocalypse. This iconographic element further underscores her divine status and her role as Queen of Heaven.\r\nThe Infant Jesus is highlighted by the large bowl fold of Mary\u2019s cloak. Mary does not touch the child directly but uses the cloak to present him to the viewer. This subtle detail emphasizes Christ\u2019s divine nature and underscores his dignity as one worthy of presentation. Jesus sits diagonally across Mary\u2019s arm with his small, chubby feet crossed, lending the composition a touch of naturalism and innocence. In his left hand, he holds a globe symbolizing his role as Salvator Mundi, the Savior of the World, while his right hand is raised in a gesture of blessing or speaking. His expression is lively, with slightly parted lips and alert eyes, complemented by rosy cheeks that bring the figure to life.\r\nThis sculpture embodies the stylistic characteristics of the Late Gothic period, which is characterized by realistic details and an emphasis on the humanity of devotional figures. The intricate folds of Mary\u2019s robe and the lifelike facial expressions of both figures reflect Weckmann\u2019s ability to capture both the spiritual significance and the human warmth of his subjects.\r\n\r\nMary and the Infant Jesus are not only an object of devotion but also a testament to the sculptor\u2019s technical skill and artistic sensibility, which make him a significant figure in the development of German sculpture during the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance.\r\nBibliography:\r\nBarbara Maier-L\u00f6rcher, Meisterwerke Ulmer Kunst, Ostfildern 2004.\r\nBrigitte Reinhardt (ed.), Michel Erhart & J\u00f6rg Syrlin the Elder: Late Gothic in Ulm, Ulm 2002.\r\nBarbara Sch\u00e4uffelen and Joachim Feist, Ulm: Portrait of an Urban Landscape, Stuttgart 1987.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>"}},"image":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DIR_144-768x576.jpg","ask":363400,"bidsteps":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/337429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/337429\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":337463,"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/337429\/revisions\/337463"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/337431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=337429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=337429"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=337429"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=337429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
