Saint Leonard 1495 - 1510

"Saint Leonard" is a polychromed and gilded wood sculpture by Hans Klocker, created between 1495 and 1510. The sculpture depicts Saint Leonard, a 6th-century French abbot, standing in his monastic habit, holding a book. The figure is realistically rendered, with detailed features and drapery, and the gold leaf gilding adds a touch of splendor. This artwork is part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcasing the artistic skill and religious devotion of the Late Gothic period in Germany.
