Saint Barbara mid-15th century French This sculpture was probably meant to be seen against a pier or in a niche behind an altar in a French parish church. The massiveness of the figure and the heavy, deep folds of drapery derive from the stylistic innovations of two earlier sculptors working in Burgundy: Claus Sluter (ca. 1345-1405/6) and Claux de Werve (1380-1439).. Saint Barbara. French. mid-15th century. Limestone with traces of paint. Made in Burgundy, France. Sculpture-Stone
