Description

Augsburg around 1630

by Hans Christoph II Fesenmair (1587-1664, master since 1618)

Mary, carved in the rays of light, shows her child standing gracefully on her lap and benedictionally proclaiming God's grace with the globe in its hand.
Mary is wrapped in a cloak, covered with a headscarf and has bowed her head before the significance of her divine child.

Hans Christoph II Fesenmair is considered one of the most important goldsmiths in Augsburg in the second quarter of the 17th century. He was several times guild foreman and inspectoral master. His numerous secular and ecclesiastical showpieces were commissioned by the cathedral chapter and the imperial city of Augsburg as well as the imperial court in Vienna, the archducal chamber in Innsbruck and the Elector of Cologne.
