Die Madonna des Franziskanerklosters in Pilsen und das Problem der böhmischen Kunst in der Hussitenzeit

Thanks to the recent restoration of the wooden Madonna in the chapel of the Franciscan convent in Pilsen, it was possible to carry out a detailed study of this monumental statue. The author of the article places the statue in the context of Central European art and along works of historicism from the 1540s and 1550s, supported in the Czech Lands by a new social class: the bourgeoisie. The article also focuses on questions of the practical workshop continuity of the time the existence of which is supported by the circumstances surrounding the origin of the Franciscan Madonna. Research has also shown that the sculpture is one of the oldest works employing the decorative so-called Presbrokat technique.
