Risen Christ. Attributed To The Workshop Of Niklaus Weckmann.

Risen Christ, standing in a slight contrapposto, legs crossed, Ulm, Swabia, circa 1490–1510.. The torso is bare, while a mantle is wrapped around the hips and drawn up by the right hand. The treatment of the head corresponds to the formal vocabulary observed in figures of Christ and the Apostles attributed to the workshop of Niklaus Weckmann in Ulm: a heavy upper eyelid, slightly open mouth with sharply incised corners, and a pronounced lower lip. The beard is carved as combed, rhythmic S-shaped locks arranged in layered masses under the chin. The hair is worked into broad ribbon-like strands, each ending in a hooked curl. The drapery further supports the attribution to the workshop of Niklaus Weckmann: it falls in thick, tubular folds broken by sharp V-shaped ridges, alternating angular facets and deeply carved channels.
