The acquisition was announced by the Ministry of Culture in a press release dated 2 November 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the ministry, the 55-centimetre sculpture has no equivalent in France\u2019s national collections. It fills a precise gap at Cluny: the museum\u2019s substantial holdings of late-medieval Germanic sculpture \u2013 Swabian, Swiss and Tyrolean \u2013 did not yet include a single Alsatian work from the period, the release states. The purchase is also a clear illustration of how the National Treasure mechanism works in practice: an export refusal buys time, and patronage pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ministry attributes the statuette to a sculptor who has been called the \u201cMaster of the Lautenbach Altarpiece\u201d, active in the wake of the celebrated sculptor Nicolas Gerhaert de Leyde. It describes the piece as a very rare example, on the art market, of work from Strasbourg, which it calls a major artistic centre in the second half of the fifteenth century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mary Magdalene is identified by her attribute, an ointment jar held in her left hand, whose lid she lifts with her right. With her raised elbow she holds against her body the edge of an ample mantle with sharply broken, deeply cut folds, and her loose hair falls down her back in twisted strands. The ministry reports a remarkable state of conservation, although the original polychromy has disappeared. The statuette is said to come from the Abbey of Lucelle in the Haut-Rhin and was probably intended for a private oratory; it remained in the same family for more than a century and has been published since 1972.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1714\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/honargardi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/11\/gerhaert-homme-accoude-strasbourg-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Sandstone bust of a man leaning on his elbow, attributed to Nicolas Gerhaert de Leyde, Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019\u0152uvre Notre-Dame, Strasbourg\" class=\"wp-image-2107\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bust of a man leaning on his elbow, often described as a presumed self-portrait, attributed to Nicolas Gerhaert de Leyde, Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019\u0152uvre Notre-Dame, Strasbourg.

That refusal, the ministry says, gave the museum the opportunity to raise the funds to buy it. The price paid by the museum has not been published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who paid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Per the ministry, the purchase was financed mainly through Article 238 bis-0 A of the French General Tax Code, which allows companies to contribute to the acquisition of National Treasures. The museum received support from Cr\u00e9dit Mutuel Alliance F\u00e9d\u00e9rale, through the Caisse F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Cr\u00e9dit Mutuel, and from a company that wished to remain anonymous. Several individual donors also contributed, and the ministry covered the remaining amount through its Fonds du patrimoine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1568\" src=\"https:\/\/honargardi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/11\/atget-hotel-de-cluny-cour.jpg\" alt=\"The courtyard of the H\u00f4tel de Cluny photographed by Eug\u00e8ne Atget between 1898 and 1924\" class=\"wp-image-2108\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The courtyard of the H\u00f4tel de Cluny photographed by Eug\u00e8ne Atget, between 1898 and 1924.

After a phase of study and restoration, it will be shown first at Cluny and then at the Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019\u0152uvre Notre-Dame in Strasbourg, which holds reference works by Nicolas Gerhaert de Leyde, as a long-term loan.
