1/internal/media/dispatcher/164302/fullThe 'Sonntagberg Madonna'c. 1360[Michaelermeister]MichaelermeisterPoplar, original groundingThis life-sized Madonna is named after its original location at the pilgrimage church in Sonntagberg in Lower Austria. The sweeping curve of the body, the soft folds of the drapery, and the overall idealized quality anticipate the later figures known as Beautiful Madonnas that appear from around 1400. This piece was made by an anonymous artist to whom two stone sculptures at Saint Michael’s Church in Vienna are also attributed. Hence, the sculptor was named the Master of Saint Michael’s. He was probably an itinerant artist who had trained in Italy and later worked in Vienna. Sculpturehttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/3586/rdf
