Saint Martin on the Kofel / Sankt Martin am Kofel

Martin divides his coat to share with the beggar whilst his horse eats the halo off the lamb. The horse failed to become a saint. :o( / Martin teilt seinen Mantel mit dem Bettler waehrend sein Pferd sich am Heiligenschein vom Lamm vergreift. Das Pferd wurde nicht heilig gesprochen. :o(

So many intricate details....

It is impressive and sure not among the cheap ware, especially the poses and proportiones of the horse and the two adult humans in the scene and the wonderful damask texture of the outer pillars, but I am generally not very big on baroque and also feel the the way it is decorated with fake ivy to hide a sound system amongst it all is rather hillarious than edifying. It was also very difficult to find an angle where the scene with the knight and beggar is undisturbed by this unhappy huge sepulcher crown sculpture looking like a typical lambshaped decorated sugarbread for the easter blessings. The only possible version meant to suggest the poor innocent horse nibbles the things halo... sometimes a tad less would be just more in those baroque churches.
