EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of St Catherine, created around 1520 by an unknown artist. Crafted from limewood and currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK, this artwork is a testament to the masterful skill and creativity of its creator. The figure of St Catherine is meticulously carved from several separate pieces of wood that have been expertly joined together. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the flowing drapery that delicately wraps around her body to the intricate crown adorning her head. Standing at approximately x cm in height, with a base width of x cm and depth of 17.0 cm, this wooden statuette commands attention with its presence. Attributed to the Master of the Oertel Madonna, this Renaissance-era sculpture exemplifies Western art at its finest. The artist's ability to breathe life into wood is truly remarkable, capturing both the strength and gracefulness inherent in St Catherine's character. As we gaze upon this work of art captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to an era where craftsmanship reigned supreme. This print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind such magnificent sculptures that continue to inspire awe centuries later.
