Catalan Gothic Virgin. Polychrome wood.
Important Catalan virgin from the 14th century in polychromed and gilded wood. Our sculpture is in an excellent state of conservation and has original polychromy. Our virgin is represented standing with a slight and elegant sway of her hips. The face with full, youthful features is framed by golden hair. The headdress, characteristic of the end of the 14th century, shows the use of starched canvas. The crown is old but undoubtedly later, as is the scepter pointing towards a representation of Mary. The Virgin's dress has diamond decorations common in Catalonia at the end of the 14th century, as do the filigrees of the headdress.
Gothic period prophet's head sculpture. 14th century.
Handsome bearded face framed by curly hair emerging from the prophet's cap. This head is very expressive and shows a thoughtful man in age. This Gothic sculpture in the round can be compared to 14th century sculptures from the North of France, some coming from the disappeared cathedrals of Arras, Boulogne-sur-mer and Cambrai. A probable origin for this Gothic sculpture coming from a collection in the Saint-Omer region is the Saint-Bertin Abbey.
Virgin Mosan art. Polychrome wood.
Elegant Virgin and Child called Sedes Sapientiae. Mary holds the Christ standing on her left knee. Oval face of the Virgin, framed by a diademed headdress. Our sculpture is distinguished by the position of the two figures, looking to the side and by the attitude of Christ and the graceful movement of his robe. The clothes, hairstyles and facial features direct us towards a Mosan production from the end of the 13th century with stylistic influences from the court of Saint Louis.
Bust of a Gothic apostle from the workshops of Reims. Sculpture in limestone.
Beautiful bust of an apostle in a very emotional attitude. Our sculpture presents a still young apostle, with beautiful and gentle features. He applies his hand under his bifid beard, in a pensive and deep attitude. Note the hand with thin and long fingers, typical of the 13th century. Elongated face with high cheekbones, framed by wavy hair.
Enthroned Virgin. French Catalonia - Maria Lactans
Rare wooden polychrome Virgin and Child from the Fenouillèdes region representing Virgo Lactans. Before this discovery, only 3 medieval nursing madonnas were known in the Pyrénées Orientales. Our Virgin is distinguished by the quality of its execution, the preservation of its polychromy and a known origin. Mary is seated on the throne with a gentle and mysterious air. The Child on his knees holds the Book on and raises the index and middle fingers of his right hand.
Head of an apostle or a prophet. Carved marble.
Superb head of an apostle by an Italian master from the end of the 13th century or beginning of the 14th century. Beautiful wavy beard, almond eyes, well marked cheekbones.
Italian gothic sculpture Altounian collection. Marble relief fragment.
Small marble head representing a bearded man in profile, an apostle or a prophet. This sculpture comes from the Joseph Altounian collection dispersed during the Artcurial sale of September 18, 2019. It bears on the reverse the typical label of the Joseph Altounian collections Ref: Annexe 622. Our sculpture has been cited as coming from the close circle of Giovanni Pisano. Without being able to affirm this attribution with certainty, our marble nevertheless belongs to the Tuscan school of the beginning of the 14th century, under the influence of sculptors such as Pisano or Giovanni di Balduccio. The comparison with the latter is interesting, Giovanni di Balducio produced capitals and funerary reliefs with representations very close to our marble.
Gothic bust of saint. Upper Rhine.
Bust of a saint in polychrome wood, hollow back. This bust can be compared to the reliquary busts of Saint Ursula and her companions known on the Middle Rhine in Cologne, as well as the opening virgins of the Upper Rhine. However, our sculpture retains the techniques in force in the 13th century, including the hollowed back, and a style different from the saints of the Middle Rhine. It must be placed in southern Germany in the 14th century.
Saint Sebastian Lombard school. Renaissance alabaster.
Large Saint Sebastian finely carved in alabaster. The saint is attached to a column surmounted by a capital, beautiful soft features and superb hair with long openwork and wavy locks. This statue was the object of a devotion as evidenced by the wear of the face and the accident on the nose.

Our Virgin is represented in the phase of the Conturbatio, Mary expresses her amazement and is represented as a young girl with soft and resigned features.

Catalan School of the 13th century. Bishop statue in polychrome wood.
Large polychrome wooden statue representing a holy bishop carrying a crosier and making the sign of blessing. The sculpture stands out for the simplicity of its forms, the rigid technique of straight lines and the design of the face still reminiscent of the Romanesque style. The plasticity of the face, the folds of the dress, the rigidity of the forms lead us to place this work at the beginning of the Gothic period, in the 13th century, with Romanesque influences still present in the expressions and the posture. Our sculpture shows traces of polychromy and gilding.
Sedes Sapientiae. Mosan Virgin with Child.
Large Virgin and Child in oak from the end of the 13th century or beginning of the 14th century. The plasticity of the faces and of Christ evoke the 13th century (the face of the Virgin evokes the face of the Romanesque Sedes Sapientiae of Seron) while the drapes of the Virgin's dress herald the following century. Marie, with her beautiful oval face, is seated on a throne bench. Mosan Virgins are rarer in collections than the southern European ones.

The hollowed back also shows the mark of the master: the woodpecker hole digged at the back of the skull, characteristic of Weckmann.

Gothic sculpture sees a profusion and diversification of media. Still austere for the first Gothic art, statuary knows an explosion of Marian worship with series of virgins and children. Architectural works remain with capitals, corbels and columns. The Ekinium gallery offers a series of religious and secular works from the gothique period.
