The Gallery of Mediaeval Art o f the National Museum in Warsaw features a Late Gothic statue of the Virgin and Child from the retable, formerly held in the church at Niedźwiedzica (district Malbork). The artistic level of this carving has attracted attention of art historians since long time. In 1996 the Laboratory of Conservation of the National Museum undertook the conservation of this statue, that enhanced its aesthetic values by filling numerous gaps of polychromy, restoring colours etc. Recently a model of the statue indubitably used by the artist was defined. J. Bier, the eminent expert on the oeuvre of Tilman Riemenschneider pointed to a wooden statue, now in a private collection in Zurich, as to a carver’s model, executed by Riemenschneider himself or in his workshop. A comparison of the Warsaw figure with the statue, discussed by Bier, indicates that the carver of the former one must have used a model combining the features of the Virgin and Child in Zurich with those of other Madonnas by Riemenschneider. A survey of these statues and their scientifically established chronology made it feasible to determine what has been borrowed from Riemenschneider’s model, as well as to precise the date of the Warsaw statue. The Riemenschneider’s model underlies the composition of numerous statues of the Virgin and Child executed in various European milieux. Their list remains far from complete.
