Description
Wooden Statuette of St Catherine that was once painted and held a sword. Made in the Netherlands, now in The British Museum, London.
The Holy Virgin St Catherine is shown as a young woman with long flowing hair. She tramples the figure of her persecutor, the Roman Emperor Maximian. Van Steffeswert is the best-documented late Gothic sculptor of the Netherlands. We know about his family in Maastricht, his commissions and lawsuits, and his religious beliefs as he lived through the Reformation.
Date: 1500-1525 (circa, hand and base later additions)
Photos taken (through glass) January 2019 with a Sony a6000 and processed in Agisoft Photoscan.
