O soše
Virgin and Child, made about 1395, is displayed in gallery 111 of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Damage in the nineteenth century left the Child missing. From the church at Mariapfarr near Salzburg, the figure belongs to the Beautiful Madonna type, with a curved stance and deep folds. It was cast from crushed limestone, quicklime and curd poured into a mould. After several weeks of setting, the mould was broken away. The hardened figure could then be smoothed, polished and painted.
Slovy muzea
This sculpture—damaged during the 1800s and now missing the figure of the Christ child—is a fine early example of the type known as the Schöne Madonna or "Beautiful Virgin." This type became popular around 1400 and emphasized the graceful curve of the Virgin’s posture combined with deep, slightly exaggerated drapery folds. This sculpture is known to have come from the Church of Mariapfarr in the Diocese of Salzburg. 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.
