Mearini Fine Art

Venetian Master (Michele Linder from Hamburg?) Crucifix, circa 1490 Alder wood H 115 x W 92 x D 16 cm Recto and verso hollowed out and juxtaposed to recompose the figure Expertise Prof.ssa Serenella Castri Provenance: private collection, Italy Exhibition: 'Sculptura' Capolavori Italiani dal XIII al XX secolo, Modena 2023 This is an absolute masterpiece in the corpus of wooden Crucifixes of the late fifteenth century in Venice. This is a sculpture of exceptional technical skill. The ‘construction’ technique is unique: the figure of the Christ has been obtained from two alder wood valves hollowed out and then fitted together more then perfectly. Even more emblematic is the dramatic introspection of its carving, whose executive value is comparable to that of ivories, and, above all we can date it to circa 1490, the apex of the Venetian Renaissance. In Venice, the reference model for the production of wooden crucifixes was the famous monumental Crucifix (ca.1468/75) of the basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, from which a varied series of examples derived until the first decades of the sixteenth century. The expressive suggestion of ‘German’ models certainly contributed to the very original characteristic of these sculptures, especially thanks to the presence in Venice of skilled carvers from Northen Europe. The attribution to Michele Linder from Hamburg, resident in the district of Santi Marcuola and Fortunato, has been strongly corroborated. Linder was one of the most estemeed wood carvers in Venice and the most famous sculptor of ivory crucifixes.

He was very well connected in the art scene of the time and carried out commissions for both private individuals and the state. The etched glass vases that he had made by the Loetz glass manufactory for the winter exhibition at the Austrian Museum of Art and Industry in 1911 are certainly amongst his most important decorative arts designs from this period.

Trained by Bourdelle to sculpt from live models, her work took on an anthropomorphic character after the war, with the human body remaining at the centre of her preoccupations, but from then on taking on an allegorical and fantastic character, in the image of this Sauterelle, whose tormented material takes on a dramatic character of existentialist essence. Charged with a primitive force that, as André Pieyre de Mandiargues points out, is ‘as much rock or stump as flayed man’, La Sauterelle is undoubtedly one of the artist's masterpieces, a sculpture that has evolved towards an unprecedented baroque and expressive naturalism. The Sauterelles are among Germaine Richier's most emblematic creations, the artist produced three different versions. La Sauterelle, petite (1944), La Sauterelle, moyenne (1945) and La Sauterelle grande (1955-1956) offer astonishing variations on the strangeness of this hybrid being, both woman and animal, and impose a remarkable questioning of form and balance through a play of juxtaposed squares, fostering the ambiguity of a work that is both frozen and in motion, ready to leap.
