French Late Gothic Limestone Beautiful Virgin & Child | Schöne Madonna

France, late Gothic period, ca. 14th - 15th century CE. France, Late Gothic, ca. 1420–1450 CE. A rare and important French Late Gothic limestone sculpture of the Madonna and Child, depicting the Virgin crowned and standing with long flowing wavy hair, holding the Christ child tenderly with her right hand. This is a fine early example of the celebrated type known as the Schöne Madonna — the "Beautiful Virgin" — a devotional form that emerged around 1400 and swept through the courts and churches of France, Germany, and Bohemia, emphasizing the graceful S-curve of the Virgin's posture combined with deep, richly modeled drapery folds of slightly exaggerated elegance. This type became popular around 1400 and emphasized the graceful curve of the Virgin’s posture combined with deep, slightly exaggerated drapery folds. It was made using a casting technique known as "lost shape." The casting consisted of pulverized limestone combined with quicklime and milk curd poured into a mold. After the cementlike mixture set for several weeks, the mold was destroyed to remove the sculpture, which could then be filed, polished, and painted. Original lead mounted, iron attachment in the back. Size: 22.25”H x 9.25”W (56.5 x 23.5cm). Provenance: Long Island, N.Y. collection. Ex. collection of Nancy and John Hyde Devoe, NYC. and N.J. Collected 1950’s - 1970’s. Condition: Missing the child’s left hand, tip of foot and lower left leg, head reattached. General loss to the polychrome and gilded surface, only traces remain. Some losses to the crown points.
