Kuno Francke Memorial Gallery

The Kuno Francke Memorial Gallery features original works of art. This gallery, named in honor of its first curator and founder, showcases a collection of painting, sculpture, and decorative arts spanning from the Middle Ages to modern times.

Highlights of the Collection:

1. Late Gothic Sculpture:

   • The gallery has several significant examples of Late Gothic sculpture, particularly from the sixteenth century. These wooden polychromed pieces, though often provincial, showcase the decorative splendor and richness typical of church furniture from this period.

2. Notable Statues:

   • Among the most important pieces are two statues:
     • Seated Madonna (circa 1420): Originally part of a more complex structure, this figure once held the Christ Child on her knee. It is likely the central part of an altarpiece. The flowing drapery and aristocratic elegance are characteristic of the stylistic tendencies seen in the Strasbourg Cathedral's Virtues and Vices.
     • St. Michael (circa a century later): This figure contrasts with the Madonna by depicting dynamic vigor. St. Michael is shown delivering a death blow to Satan, who is cut away from the main figure. This piece may be attributed to the atelier of Austrian sculptor, Lorenz Luchsperger.

3. Continuity in Emotional Expression:

   • The transition in emotional expression in German art is illustrated by:
     • Sorrowing Madonna: An early 18th-century work from the Swabian region, this figure continues the emotional use of light and shadow seen in earlier Gothic pieces.
     • Baroque Madonna: Here, the logical structure of the human body becomes more pronounced, with deep folds in the drapery and a more naturalistic depiction of the body.

4. Decorative Arts:

   • The gallery also displays a variety of decorative art objects from the eighteenth century, including:
     • The Triumph of a Sea Goddess: A round, steatite relief attributed to Peter Floetner, a Nuremberg sculptor. This piece was designed as a goldsmith's model, closely following the style of an elaborate ceremonial goblet.
     • Porcelain Figures: Among these are two exquisite figures by Franz Bustelli, a leading artist from the Nymphenburg porcelain manufactory.
