Lot 2726 | Meister des Martha-Altars
(Tätig um 1515-1520 in Nürnberg) Umkreis Hl. Abt Maurus Lindenholz, geschnitzt, rückseitig abgeflacht, Reste originaler Fassung. Das Relief gehört zu den überaus seltenen Darstellungen des Heiligen. Es zeigt ihn in der charakteristischen Gestalt eines Mönches in Tunika und Kukulle, ein Buch in der linken Hand und einen Spendenkasten(?) in der rechten Hand haltend. Der an die Kette gelegte, expressiv dargestellte Teufel verweist auf die Teufelaustreibung, von der seine Heiligenvita berichtet. Das Flachrelief entfaltet in seiner differenzierten Modellierung eine außerordentlich hohe Plastizität. Hierzu korrespondieren die virtuose, ausdrucksvolle Gestaltung des knochigen Gesichtes - der den Abt als abgeklärten, asketischen Mann mittleren Alters charakterisiert - und die feingliedrigen, schmalen Hände. Die Ausarbeitung der Röhrenfalten, die sich in knittrigen Partien stauen und durch kleine Dellen belebt werden, haben ihre stilistischen Parallen in dem Werk des Meisters des Martha-Altares in der Nürnberger Lorenzkirche und einem ihm zugewiesenen Relief des Hl. Laurentius(?) in der Fränkischen Galerie in Kronach. H. 75 cm. Beigefügt: Expertise von Frau Dr. Claudia Lichte M. A., 15.06.2021. /P/Provenienz: Aus einer bedeutenden fränkischen Privatsammlung und größtenteils in den 1970er Jahren bis Anfang der 2000er Jahre - beraten vom renommierten Würzburger Kunsthändler Albrecht Neuhaus - zusammengetragen. Circle of the Master of the Martha altarpiece (active circa 1515-1520 in Nuremberg). Carved limewood relief. Remnants of original polychromy. Accompanied by an expertise by Dr. Claudia Lichte, 15th of June 2021.
