Sobre la escultura
This ivory statue of St. Mary Magdalen originally formed part of a Crucifixion scene. It is attributed to Justus Glesker, made in Germany in ca. 1650.
The son of a sculptor, Glesker (1610/20-1678) travelled in Italy and the Netherlands, before settling in Frankfurt in 1646. He produced large gilt wood crucifixion figures for the choir of Bamberg Cathedral, as well as other large wood sculptors also for the Cathedral in the late 1640s. His widow's inventory of works from his studio includes small-scale sculptures in ivory, and it is on the basis of this, as well as stylistic parallels with the documented large-scale wood sculptures, that ivory works have been ascribed to him, notably those at the Museo e Galleria Estense in Modena, and the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, although there are no known signed pieces.
