Label TextWorkshop of Hans Klocker Austrian, active 1478-1500 Madonna and Child, ca. 1485–95 Mountain pine with original gilding and polychrome This large, brightly painted sculpture of Mary and the infant Jesus is elaborately and deeply carved from a single log of Tyrolean mountain pine. The reverse has been hollowed out to keep the wood from splitting. The work was made for a church, where it may have been placed in front of a column or pillar, as the back was not meant to be seen.
