Crescent Moon Madonna
\nWorkshop of Master
\nHans Klocker
\nbefore 1474, possibly in Gais\u2014after 1500
\n\u201cCrescent Moon Madonna\u201d
\nc. 1480\/90
\nCarved from Swiss stone pine
\nOriginal polychromy
\nHeight 77 cm<\/p>\n

This exceptionally high-quality Madonna figure (77 cm) carved from Swiss stone pine exhibits typical characteristics of the major workshop of the late-Gothic sculptor Hans Klocker. The Tyrolean woodcarver was primarily active in the Brixen and Bolzano regions. He is one of South Tyrol\u2019s most significant artists of the late 15th century. Stylistically, this Madonna is related to the well-known Tramin Altar (1485\u201390) in the Bavarian National Museum and exhibits an extremely similar level of quality in its carving.<\/p>\n

Klocker\u2019s oeuvre is characterized by block-like, solidly formed figures and detailed realism. Mary\u2019s subtly posed figure is rendered particularly dynamic and majestic by the voluminous, creased folds of her outer robe\u2019s drapery. The masterful rendering of the drapery is characteristic of this Austrian late-Gothic woodcarver, who drew inspiration from Hans Multscher and Michael Pacher. Particularly noteworthy is the \u201cwrapped\u201d fold above the knee of the right foot, which rests on the crescent moon. The figures on the wing reliefs of the Tramin Altar are especially comparable:<\/p>\n

The wide, turned-in inner edge of the cloak also features angular bowl folds, creating a dynamic contrast to the veil draped over the head\u2014a motif frequently seen in Klocker\u2019s figures. Beneath it, long locks of hair resting on the shoulders stand out, carved in a typical late-Gothic style. Also noteworthy is the crescent-shaped face with a large nose, high cheekbones, and full lips.<\/p>\n

The naked infant Jesus, whom Mary seems to be cradling in her arms with a tender gesture, holds a globe and is depicted in a playful side pose, almost as if he were kicking with his little feet and waving his little arms. The child\u2019s snail-like curls frame a chubby-cheeked face typical of this period. Furthermore, Klocker\u2019s figures are characterized by thin, crescent-shaped eyebrows, large eyes, full faces with small chins, and ring-shaped neck wrinkles. These skin folds emphasize the figures\u2019 humanity and introduce a degree of realism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

ausgesprochen qualit\u00e4tvolle Madonnenfigur (77 cm) aus Zirbenholz weist typische Merkmale der gro\u00dfen Werkstatt des sp\u00e4tgotischen Bildhauers Hans Klocker auf. Der tiroler Bildschnitzer war vor allem im Brixener und Bozner Raum aktiv. Er ist einer der bedeutendsten K\u00fcnstler S\u00fcdtirols des sp\u00e4ten 15. Jahrhunderts.Diese Madonna ist stilistisch mit dem bekannten Traminer Altar (1485-90) im Bayerischen Nationalmuseum verwandt und besitzt eine \u00fcberaus \u00e4hnliche Qualit\u00e4t in der Schnitzkunst.\r\n\r\nKlockers Oeuvre zeichnet sich durch blockhaft geschlossene K\u00f6rper und detailreichen Realismus aus. Der verhalten bewegte K\u00f6rper Marias wird durch die volumin\u00f6sen Knickfaltenkonfigurationen der Draperie des \u00dcbergewandes besonders dynamisch und majest\u00e4tisch dargestellt. Die meisterhafte Wiedergabe des Faltenwurfs ist charakteristisch f\u00fcr diesen \u00f6sterreichischen Bildschnitzer der Sp\u00e4tgotik, der Anleihen bei Hans Multscher und Michael Pacher nahm. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die \u201eeingeschlagene\u201c Falte \u00fcber dem Knie des rechten Fu\u00dfes, der auf dem Gesicht auf der Mondsichel platziert ist. Besonders vergleichbar sind die Figuren auf den Fl\u00fcgelreliefs des Traminer Altars:\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bayerisches-nationalmuseum.de\/webgos\/bnm_online.php?seite=5&fld_0=00024254.\">https:\/\/www.bayerisches-nationalmuseum.de\/webgos\/bnm_online.php?seite=5&fld_0=00024254.<\/a>\r\n\r\nAuch die breite umgeschlagene Innenseite des Mantels pr\u00e4sentiert sich in eckigen Sch\u00fcsselfalten, ein dynamischer Gegenpol zum \u00fcber dem Kopf drapierten Schleiertuch, das h\u00e4ufig bei Klockers Figuren zu sehen ist. Darunter treten lange, auf den Schultern aufliegende Haarlocken hervor, die in typisch sp\u00e4tgotischer Manier geschnitzt sind. Hervorzuheben ist auch die Mondsichel mit gro\u00dfem Gesicht bestehend aus markanter Nase, hohen Wangenknochen und wulstigen Lippen.\r\n\r\nDas nackte Jesuskind, das Maria mit z\u00e4rtlicher Geste in den Armen zu wiegen scheint, h\u00e4lt eine Weltkugel und ist in kecker Seitenlage dargestellt, beinahe, als w\u00fcrde es mit F\u00fc\u00dfchen und \u00c4rmchen strampeln. Die schneckenartigen L\u00f6ckchen des Kindes rahmen ein pausb\u00e4ckiges Gesicht, das typisch f\u00fcr diese Zeit ist. Au\u00dferdem zeichnen sich die Figuren Klockers durch d\u00fcnne sichelf\u00f6rmige Brauen, gro\u00dfe Augen, f\u00fcllige Gesichter mit kleiner Kinnpartie und ringf\u00f6rmige Halsfalten aus. Durch diese Hautfalten wird die Menschlichkeit der Figuren betont, sowie ein Grad an Realismus eingef\u00fchrt."},"en":{"id":"337667","post_title":"Crescent Moon Madonna","post_content":"Crescent Moon Madonna\r\nWorkshop of Master\r\nHans Klocker\r\nbefore 1474, possibly in Gais\u2014after 1500\r\n\u201cCrescent Moon Madonna\u201d\r\nc. 1480\/90\r\nCarved from Swiss stone pine\r\nOriginal polychromy\r\nHeight 77 cm\r\n\r\nThis exceptionally high-quality Madonna figure (77 cm) carved from Swiss stone pine exhibits typical characteristics of the major workshop of the late-Gothic sculptor Hans Klocker. The Tyrolean woodcarver was primarily active in the Brixen and Bolzano regions. He is one of South Tyrol\u2019s most significant artists of the late 15th century. Stylistically, this Madonna is related to the well-known Tramin Altar (1485\u201390) in the Bavarian National Museum and exhibits an extremely similar level of quality in its carving.\r\n\r\nKlocker\u2019s oeuvre is characterized by block-like, solidly formed figures and detailed realism. Mary\u2019s subtly posed figure is rendered particularly dynamic and majestic by the voluminous, creased folds of her outer robe\u2019s drapery. The masterful rendering of the drapery is characteristic of this Austrian late-Gothic woodcarver, who drew inspiration from Hans Multscher and Michael Pacher. Particularly noteworthy is the \u201cwrapped\u201d fold above the knee of the right foot, which rests on the crescent moon. The figures on the wing reliefs of the Tramin Altar are especially comparable:\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bayerisches-nationalmuseum.de\/webgos\/bnm_online.php?seite=5&fld_0=00024254.\">https:\/\/www.bayerisches-nationalmuseum.de\/webgos\/bnm_online.php?seite=5&fld_0=00024254.<\/a>\r\n\r\nThe wide, turned-in inner edge of the cloak also features angular bowl folds, creating a dynamic contrast to the veil draped over the head\u2014a motif frequently seen in Klocker\u2019s figures. Beneath it, long locks of hair resting on the shoulders stand out, carved in a typical late-Gothic style. Also noteworthy is the crescent-shaped face with a large nose, high cheekbones, and full lips.\r\n\r\nThe naked infant Jesus, whom Mary seems to be cradling in her arms with a tender gesture, holds a globe and is depicted in a playful side pose, almost as if he were kicking with his little feet and waving his little arms. The child\u2019s snail-like curls frame a chubby-cheeked face typical of this period. Furthermore, Klocker\u2019s figures are characterized by thin, crescent-shaped eyebrows, large eyes, full faces with small chins, and ring-shaped neck wrinkles. These skin folds emphasize the figures\u2019 humanity and introduce a degree of realism."}},"image":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DIR_155-768x576.jpg","ask":133000,"bidsteps":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/337667","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\/337667\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":337687,"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/337667\/revisions\/337687"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/337669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=337667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=337667"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=337667"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiberius-auctions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=337667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
