GOTHIC STATUE OF MARY OF BISTRICA

Anđela Horvat

Abstract

Analysis of the Gothic statue of Mary of Bistrica (Hrvatsko Zagorje) has established that the work was produced in a local workshop lacking finesse. The craftsman had a number of models for the statue, probably a stone sculpture among others, because the statue is only roughly finished
at the back. The late Gothic statue with its rustic shape retains certain archaic elements from 1400 at the end of the 15th century, and presents a valuable example of naive sculpture in Southern Europe. It dates from 1490.
