EXTREMELY RARE WOODEN PIETÀ FROM THE FIRST HALF OF THE 14TH CENTURY - EXTRAORDINARY LATE-GOTHIC AND MEDIEVAL SCULPTURE FROM THE 14TH CENTURY (NEW ENTRY)

14TH CENTURY WOODEN PIETÀ Important late-Gothic and medieval sculpture from the 14th century. Extraordinary and emotionally moving sculpture in Swiss pine wood with traces of ancient polychrome. Its intentionally devotional compositional style strongly recalls the late-Gothic and medieval sculpture of the 14th century, which influenced even the early 15th-century Renaissance for a long time. The rigidity of Christ's body, the barely sketched anatomies, and the powerful and dramatic impact of the composition are typical of this period of Upper Venetian sculpture, with references akin to contemporary models from South Tyrol, Southern Germany, and Austria. The Mother's lament, holding her Son in her arms, is rendered total in a wonderful way by the very tight embrace that unites them until they form a single body. The Mother dies with her Son to be reborn with him into new Life. A work of extraordinary emotional impact, great museum and artistic value, and extreme rarity, attributable to the first half of the 14th century.
