A late 15th century carved marble female standing figure of the Virgin Wearing a crown and a long draped dress, with flowers in her hair, possibly once holding lilies, weathered (a.f), 102cm high. Provenance: By repute from Magdalen College, Oxford purchased by the current vendor about 30 years ago. It is thought that this statue could date from the period soon after the founding of Magdalen College, Oxford, by William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester, in 1458. The college buildings were set out in 1474 and incorporated some of those from St John’s Hospital which previously occupied the site, the 13th century chapel of the Hospital is still incorporated in the range fronting the street. In 1475 William Orchard, a mason, was contracted to work on the West window of the Chapel, other parts of the Chapel, the Cloister windows and the towers and by 1480 the college was occupied. It is possible that the late sculptor Patrick Conoley created a new statue for Magdalen College to replace the work on offer here, although it is not known where in the college our statue might have originally stood. Over a period of 11 years from 1971 Conoley designed and carved over 150 sculptures for Magdalen, many of these to replace damaged or weathered early pieces. He started carving in stone at the age of 14 and on leaving school took up an apprenticeship with the renowned firm of R L Boulton & Sons in Cheltenham. Over the course of his career Conoley produced hundreds of wooden and stone sculptures for buildings, churches and cathedrals throughout the world, he also worked on the restoration of Blenheim Palace, Woodstock. In 1913 four statues were produced for the niches in the south façade of St Mary Magdalen, Oxford, a Grade I listed building dating from 1194 when St. Hugh, Bishop of Lincoln, replaced a single-aisle chapel erected after a fire in 1074 which had destroyed the original Saxon wooden church. St Mary Magdalen was later restored in 1841-42 - a young, and as yet, unknown architect George Gilbert Scott and his partner W B Moffatt worked on the north aisle of the church, where they created the first Gothic Revival interior in Oxford. The identity of the sculptor responsible for the four early 20th century works is not known, but ‘Maria’ could have been designed whilst our statue was still in situ and on view at Magdalen College. There are subtle resemblances between the two pieces, and both carry stems of flowers in their right hand, likely to be lilies. Arts & Crafts was at its height in 1913, and the dress and overall appearance of Maria and her companions at St Mary Magdalen, as with the movement itself, are clearly influenced by the aesthetics of the Middle Ages.
