/internal/media/dispatcher/162117/fullA King Saint (St Owald ?)aus der St. Oswaldkirche bei Atzwang (Südtirol)c. 1500[Südtiroler Bildschnitzer]Südtiroler BildschnitzerSwiss stone pine, original polychromy, gilded details The carved figure in the round, with its original paint layer and gold plating almost entirely preserved, shows a finely dressed man in an almost dance-like pose. He holds a vessel in his hand that, like the crown on his hat, may be an attribute of St. Oswald. However, the figure may also represent one of the Three Wise Men. The sculpture was probably made in the circle of Hans Klocker in Brixen. Regarded as one of the most important South Tyrolean artists of the late fifteenth century, he specialized in altarpieces featuring carved depictions of the Nativity.Sculpturehttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/3739/rdf
