(Tätig um 1430-1450 in Salzburg oder Wien)
Hl. Barbara
Lindenholz, geschnitzt, rücks. abgeflacht und ausgehöhlt, alte bzw. originale Fassung und Vergoldung. Die Skulptur stellt die Hl. Barbara in leichtem S-Schwung in der Tradition der Schönen Madonnen dar. Als Prinzessin trägt sie auf dem zu ihrer linken Seite geneigten Kopf eine Krone. Ihr lang auf den Boden fallendes Gewand lässt lediglich die rechte Fußspitze und Hand frei, während sie mit der linken, vom Stoff umhüllten Hand den Turm als ihr spezifisches Heiligenattribut hält. Der Faltenstil ist von teigigen, v-förmig diagonal verlaufenden Treppen- und Schüsselfalten gekennzeichnet, zum Boden hin stoßen die Falten jedoch eckig umbrechend auf. Die mit ihrem Körper frontal dem Betrachter zugewandte, rückwärtig gehöhlte Skulptur dürfte ursprünglich entweder als Skulptur eines Altars gedient haben oder vor einer Wand auf einer Konsole bzw. in eine Nische platziert worden sein. Stilistisch zeigen sich in der Darstellung des Gesichts und des Gewandes Parallelen zu der Skulptur der Hl. Barbara des 1447 geschaffenen Wiener Neustädter Altars (auch "Friedrichsaltar" genannt) in der Domkirche St. Stephan in Wien. H. 86 cm.
Provenienz: aus einer alten Wiener Privatsammlung.
