Saint Barbara

Meester van Koudewater, Meester van Koudewater, Master of Koudewater, Master of Koudewater, c. 1470

These three statues come from the monastery of Mariënwater in Koudewater (near ‘s Hertogenbosch). They are attributed to a sculptor who probably worked in the seclusion of the monastery. This would account for the rather old-fashioned, static and expressionless appearance of his work.
