Saint Barbara in the Cloisters, Sept. 2007

Saint Barbara in the Cloisters, Sept. 2007

Saint Barbara
Limestone with traces of polychromy
France, Burgundy, mid-15th century

Accession # 50.159

This sculpture was probably meant to be seen against a pier or in a niche behind an altar in a French parish church. The massiveness of the figure and the heavy, deep folds of drapery derive from the stylistic innovations of two earlier sculptors working in Burgundy: Claus Sluter (ca. 1345-1405/6) and Claux de Werve (1380-1439).
