# The Queen of Swabia [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MEDIEVAL SCULPTOR, Spanish]() - Date: 1251-1300 - Technique: Stone ## Commentary The sculpture of the upper cloister at Burgos Cathedral belongs to the end of the 13th century. In this case, the influence of Reims is decisive and combines with reflections of the Amiens style. The figure of Queen Beatrix of Swabia shows the Spanish sculptor typically assimilating outside influences and yet arriving at something characteristically Spanish. With its air of authority and its realism, it stands midway between the calm nobility of the Reims Queen of Sheba and the sharp Countess Uta or the harsh Gerburg at Naumburg Cathedral. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Annunciation]() - [Annunciation]() - [Archangel]() - [Bileam and his Ass]() - [Burial and Resurrection]() - [Capital]() - [Capital]() - [Capital]() - [Capital]() - [Capital]() - [Capital]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
