UNKNOWN MASTER, Netherlandish
(active 1455-1465 in Utrecht)

Mary Magdalen

1455-65
Limestone, height 66 cm
Centraal Museum, Utrecht

One of the leading Utrecht sculptors, known as the master of St Martin after a group in the Centraal Museum, Utrecht, produced a number of graceful statuettes for the cathedral. On a miniature scale, his lively and alert figures, such as that of Mary Magdalen, exhibit the courtly charm of the earlier Beautiful Madonnas of Bohemia.
