Hans MultscherLeutkirch 1400 - 1467 Ulm, UmkreisMadonna2. Hälfte 15. JahrhundertHolz geschnitzt und polychrom gefasst (gehöhlt)Höhe mit Sockel 113 cm, Höhe Figur 104 cmBreite Sockel 38 cm, Tiefe Sockel 25,5 cmBreite Figur 29 cm, Tiefe Figur 21,5 cmDer Bildhauer und Maler Hans Multscher gilt als einer der größten Meister seiner Zeit und unterhielt bis 1467 eine renommierte Werkstatt. Als früher Vertreter der berühmten Ulmer Schule zeigt er Figuren in spannungsvollen Bewegungen: Maria ist in einer dynamischen S-Haltung positioniert; in ihrer linken Hand balanciert sie das nackte Jesuskind, dessen spielerisch gebeugter Körper mit ausgestreckten Zehen einen naturalistischen Eindruck vermittelt. Der Junge präsentiert dem Betrachter eine Kugel, entweder einen Apfel als Symbol der Fruchtbarkeit oder einen Reichsapfel, der Christus als Herrscher der Welt ausweist. Im Gegensatz zu Marias Schönheitsideal mit langem gelocktem Haar, einer hohen, elegant gewölbten Stirn, schmaler Nase und kleinem Mund hat das Kind einen fast frechen Ausdruck: Tief liegende Augen mit schmalen Augenbrauengraten verbinden sich mit einer Stupsnase und einem kleinen, verschmitzt lächelnden Mund mit stark gekerbten Mundwinkeln. Umrahmt wird das Gesicht Jesu von den für die Gotik typischen kurzen Löckchen.Das eindrucksvollste spätgotische Merkmal dieser Madonnenfigur ist jedoch der Faltenwurf von Marias Gewand, der nach unten hin zunehmend scharfkantigere Formen annimmt. Das Schleiertuch um Marias Haupt fällt voluminös herab, wobei dieser Schwung von den langen Haarsträhnen aufgenommen wird, die über Marias Brust fallen. Der reich gefältelte Mantel zeigt Kombinationen aus weich wirkenden Schüsselfalten und Knickfaltenfigurationen, wobei der Stoff am Oberkörper noch anschmiegsamer aufscheint und dessen Draperie darunter in eckig-gebrochener Manier durchstrukturiert ist. Besonders auffallend sind die tiefen Faltenbahnen am roten Kleid Marias, das zu ihren Füßen zum Vorschein kommt und bewegt gebauscht auf der Bodenfläche aufliegt. Ein Vergleichsbeispiel ist die Bihlafinger Madonna um 1455-60, die heute im Ulmer Museum zu sehen ist und ähnliche Merkmale wie die hier präsentierte Figur aufweist. Jedoch liegt hier ein höheres Maß an Verspieltheit durch die kecke Haltung des Jesuskindes vor, sowie eine intimere Beziehung zwischen Mutter und Kind, da Maria auch mit der rechten Hand den Fuß ihres Sohnes sanft berührt. Der Bildschnitzer erreichte hier eine fast hyperrealistische Unmittelbarkeit und suggerierte damit eine körperliche sowie geistige Nähe der Betrachter zu den dargestellten Figuren, wobei dies die menschliche Seite Christi sowie die Fürbitterrolle Marias betont.

⊕ ‡ AFIFA ALEIBY (IRAQI B.1952) CAPELLO BIANCO (WHITE HAT)signed in Arabic and dated 03 upper rightoil on canvas50 x 40cm; 19 3/4 x 15 3/4in 55.5 x 45.5cm; 20 3/4 x 18in (framed)Property of a Private Collector, The NetherlandsProvenanceDe Twee Pauwen, The HagueAcquired from the above in 2004 by the present owner ExhibitedThe Hague, De Twee Pauwen Gallery, Afifa Aleiby, 2004Born in Basra, Iraq, Aleiby studied at the Institute of Fine Arts in Baghdad whilst working as an illustrator. In 1974, the artist left Iraq for Moscow to further her studies in monumental art on a scholarship at the Surikov Institute. She remained there for six years, where her artistic endeavours were fostered by a community of Iraqi intellectuals. In the wake of political conflict, Aleiby was unable to return to her homeland and instead relocated to Italy where she was inspired by the Renaissance masters. The work of Sandro Botticelli, for example, has HAD a noticeable influence on Aleiby's practice. Her serene female figures, such as in Capello Bianco (White Hat), often resemble European court society portraiture or formal ecclesiastical iconography (notably the Madonna). Aleiby uses these female figures to reflect beauty, taste, politics and society and to emphasise the significance of women in society. Aleiby lives and works in the Netherlands, and has participated in numerous exhibitions throughout her career, from Baghdad and Moscow to Yemen, Italy, Syria, Lebanon, England and the United States. Her paintings are held in important international public and private collections, such as Azman Museum’s collection, Farjam Foundation, Rana Sadik Collection, Beth Rudin de Woody Collection and Barjeel Foundation.
