The Michle Madonna?

Publication |

Abstract

In 1856, Franz Halla donated a statue of the Virgin Mary with the Infant Jesus for the chapel at Michle. Thanks to this sculpture, the 'Michle Madonna', a theory arose as to the first stylistically integrated sculptural group of the Middle Ages in Bohemia whose core was created by a single master.

The group has been dated round about 1350. However the Michle chronicle may not serve as evidence to determine more about the statue's origins.
