Comment
The lower part of this Crucifixion is full of figures, some of them seemingly belonging to a different period from the event represented, such as the monk saint kneeling and embracing the cross of Christ, together with what seems to be a nun on the opposite side. Three holy figures are represented, each with a different sign of mourning: they must be the Virgin, St John and Mary Magdalene – even if their definitive identification remains speculative (see below). Two soldiers are bracketing the composition: one entering from the far right; the other going out through the left edge. One can distinguish other soldiers in the background, such as one crying, just to the right of the Cross. The impression of a receding landscape is given by the diminishing size of the trees.
The work was acquired by Wilhelm Bode in 1883 through the English painter and dealer Charles Fairfax Murray, together with other works (Schottmüller 1913 and 1933 wrongly records 1885 for this acquisition). Bode considered the relief a copy after a late work by Donatello, noting the similarities with the pulpits of the church of San Lorenzo in Florence, and especially with the Crucifixion and Deposition reliefs (see Bode 1884; Bode 1885; Bode and Tschudi 1888). This view was sometimes dismissed (Schmarsow 1889), sometimes followed (Schottmüller 1913); but one has to notice that many scholars have also argued for an attribution to Donatello himself (Balcarres 1903; Cruttwell 1911; Colasanti 1931; Kauffmann 1935; and, more tentatively, Schottmüller 1933). After WWII, the work was part of the collection in West Berlin, but presumably kept in storage as it was almost forgotten and only discussed briefly (see Janson 1957, who linked the work with the Medici Crucifixion in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, a connection already made by Semrau 1891; Janson rejected the attribution to Donatello of both works).
This relative oblivion can partly be explained by the condition of the work, which has been problematic since its purchase. The stucco surface has severe cracks, while the gilding is widely abraded. Two losses are more important: Christ’s right arm (lost before 1883); and the head of a holy woman (often identified as the Virgin Mary), which was lost in Berlin before 1904 (see Schottmüller 1913). A small-sized engraving of the work before this damage had been published by Bode 1884, p. 41; significantly, no color photographs of the work have been published until yet.
Some parts of the relief seem at first glance to have been made separately and added on, such as the soldier on the far left, whose handling is unskillful and who has a darker coloration; of Jesus-Christ, who is almost detached from the relief, unlike the rest of the work (his body is also stylistically weaker than the rest of the anatomies). Even if the Crucifixion has often been judged since its publication by Bode as a replica after another composition, the thinness of the stucco surface makes it clear that it was directly modeled and not molded (this was first noted by Bodo Buczynski in 2014). The fact that no other similar composition exists only underlines the originality of the relief.
Various motifs of the work are reminiscent of Donatello. The mourning figure immediately to the right of the cross reminds one of the figures of the Deposition of Christ in the San Lorenzo pulpits, while the melancholy figure to his right, holding his head in his hand, is close to the St John of the bronze Lamentation over the Dead Christ in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (Inv. 8552-1863). The two crosses of the thieves are similar to the lances flanking the bronze Crucifixion in the Musée du Louvre (Inv. OA 6477; the right cross in the present work is indeed topped by what seems to be a sponge, as in the Louvre Crucifixion).
It is difficult to identify with certainty the saints attending the drama: St John may be the melancholy figure, Mary Magdalene the one raising her arms, and the Virgin Mary the figure who lost her head, even if the latter two are good candidates to be a St John and a Magdalene (with her long hair, especially underlined by the 1884 etching). At the foot of the cross, the mourning female might also be the Virgin, but also (and more likely) a nun. The other saint kneeling under the cross is dressed as a monk; his dark mantle makes him perhaps a Dominican. This confusing iconography is coherent with Donatello’s habit of producing works with some iconographical ambiguities (for a similar case, related to the bronze relief of the Lamentation in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, see Janson 1957, p. 187).
From a stylistic point of view, some parts of the work are of poor quality, such as the soldier on the left; or are not stylistically coherent with Donatello’s oeuvre, such as Christ on the cross. Some other parts, however, are not only directly comparable with Donatello’s work (especially the Forzori Altarpiece in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London: Inv. 7619:1 to 3-1861), but they also have the sketchy invention that is typical of the genuine works of the master: hence the idea to show soldiers going out of the frame, to depict expressive faces (the soldier in the mid-distance, between the cross and the ladder), or the decision to hide the right thief behind the ladder are unlikely to come from a mind other than Donatello’s. The landscape is also quite similar to the one in the Medici Crucifixion in the Bargello, a work that recent literature accepts as a genuine work. It is then tempting to think that Inv. SKS 53 is a product of the workshop of Donatello in his later years, with some parts directly modeled by the artist himself.

Madonna mit Kind mit zwei Cherubinen

Dieses äußerst fein gearbeitete Relief wurde von einem Künstler ausgeführt, der mit Donatello eng zusammenarbeitete und die Marmordekorationen für den Hof des Medici-Palastes in Florenz ausgeführt hat. Das Relief war wahrscheinlich über der Augenhöhe angebracht: Christus schaut nach unten und segnet mit seiner rechten Hand den fiktiven Betrachter dieser Szene. Der Cherub auf der rechten Seite ist eine moderne Ergänzung.Erworben 1842This extremely refined relief was made by a close collaborator of Donatello, who was also the author of the marble courtyard decorations for the Medici Palace in Florence. The relief was probably placed above eye level: Christ is looking downward, blessing with his right hand the fictive viewer of this scene. The cherub on the right side is a modern addition.--Follower of DonatelloMadonna and Child with two Cherubsca. 1440-60Marble44 x 32.5 x 8.5 cmBerlin, Staatliche Museen, Skulpturensammlung, Inv.

He is seated on his mother’s thighs; he caresses with his left hand the wrist of the Virgin, while blessing with his right hand a beholder who was probably intended to view the work from below (the lowered eyelids of the Christ Child are not a sign of sleep, as argued by Eclercy 2009). The figures are set in an ornamented base, finely carved with heads of putti and decorative, palm-trees motifs; the background is also decorated with two cherubs (the right one is a modern addition after the one on the left, which is very abraded, as is the case with the Virgin’s right hand, and Christ’s nose and legs). Jesus is wrapped in swaddling clothes, but his legs and left shoulder are left naked.The relief was bought for the Berlin Museums by Gustav Waagen in 1842. First attributed to the school of Sansovino – a most implausible judgement – it was connected to the school of Donatello by Bode 1884, an attribution that is still valid today. The relationship with the works of Donatello is indeed very strong; from the pose of the Virgin, reminiscent of a composition present in Berlin, in a terracotta and a plaquette (see Inv. SKS 56 and Inv. SKS 1028), to her complicated headdress (similar to the Virgin and Child in the Musée du Louvre, Paris, Inv. RF 353; but also to Holophernes in the Judith and Holophernes in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence) or to the Blessing Christ (see for instance the Virgin and Child with four Cherubs in Berlin, Inv. SKS 54). However, the handling of the marble has always prevented critics from seeing an original work by Donatello, whose conception of space is always more mastered and whose handling of the faces less caricatural.The work has been most often compared to the relief known as the Madonna del Perdono, now in the Museo dell’Opera metropolitana in Siena but coming from the Sienese Cathedral: besides the composition, there are close similarities between the reliefs, such as the posture of the right arm of the Virgin, the background with cherubs or the intended view from below. If the Madonna del Perdono is accepted as an autograph work by Donatello, some parts of the relief have probably been carved by an assistant. This is why art historians have sometimes thought that this assistant may be the autor of the Berlin Madonna (see especially Gentilini 1993). Bode and Tschudi 1888 had also suggested a common paternity with a Virgin and Child in the Lombardi monument in the sacristy of Santa Croce, Florence and with a Virgin and Child with five Angels in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. 7624-1861). Gentilini 1993 added to this group the tondi of the courtyard of the Medici palace in Florence, and the decoration of the organ tribune of the church of San Lorenzo, Florence (oral communication); he suggested that their author might have been Andrea dell’Aquila, who was a pupil of Donatello between 1435 and 1443.Neville Rowley (18 February 2016)

Würfelkapitell mit Palmetten- und Blattornament

Würfelkapitell mit Palmetten- und Blattornament

Das Kapitell ist aus der Grundform des Würfels entwickelt und an allen vier Seiten ausgearbeitet. An den vier Schildflächen erscheinen leicht alternierende vegetabile Ornamente im flachen Relief. Es stammt aus dem Benediktinerkloster auf dem Huy, ein in fränkischer Zeit militärisch genutzter Höhenrücken im nördlichen Harzvorland. Von Beginn an stand das Kloster unter dem Schutz der Halberstädter Bischöfe, Burchard I. hatte neben der Marienkapelle auch eine Pfalz errichtet. Die Klosterchronik des 12. Jahrhunderts erwähnt die Fertigstellung des „monasteriums“ noch in der Regierungszeit Abt Alfrieds. Der Kreuzgang, der noch stehende, zweigeschossig gewölbte Bau an der Westseite des Südflügels und möglicherweise auch Gebäude östlich der Kirche können erst nach 1150 fertiggestellt worden sein. Dieser späteren Phase gehört wohl auch das Kapitell an. Im südlichen Abschnitt des Ostflügels hat es noch einen Zweistützenraum mit den bekannten Basen gegeben, in dem dieses Kapitell aufgestellt gewesen sein könnte. Die Bildhauer, die im dritten Viertel des 12. Jahrhunderts zum Ausbau der Huysburger Klausurgebäude herangezogen wurden, haben unter Verwendung des in Sachsen seit dem 11. Jahrhundert üblichen Würfelkapitells, aber auch der korinthischen Ordnung, vor allem durch die ausgeprägte Dreidimensionalität der Formen neue Maßstäbe in der Region gesetzt. Das ornamentale Kapitell ist eng mit der Bauskulptur des nördlichen Harzvorlandes verbunden und man kann davon ausgehen, dass die meisten der auf der Huysburg tätigen Bildhauer in sächsischen Werkstätten ausgebildet wurden und wohl auch an verschiedenen Baustellen der Region tätig waren.(Auszug aus: Tobias Kunz, Bildwerke nördlich der Alpen. 1050 bis 1380.
