"Virgin with the Ears of Corn" is a late Gothic sculpture created by the North German artist Hinrik Funhof, who was active in the late 15th century. This work of art is notable for its representation of the Virgin Mary, which incorporates symbolic elements of fertility and abundance, as suggested by the ears of corn that are included in the sculpture. The piece is believed to have been created around the 1480s and is an example of the regional style of sculpture that was prevalent in the area around Lübeck, where Funhof was based.

The sculpture is carved from wood, a common medium for religious statuary in Northern Europe during this period. It reflects the transition from the medieval period to the Renaissance in Northern European art, showcasing both the lingering medieval stylistic elements and the burgeoning Renaissance influence on the depiction of figures and clothing. The Virgin Mary is typically depicted in a serene and graceful pose, with the ears of corn held in her hands or positioned nearby, emphasizing her role as a nurturing figure and a source of spiritual sustenance.

"Virgin with the Ears of Corn" is considered an important work within Funhof's oeuvre and serves as a valuable example of the devotional art that was commissioned by churches and religious institutions during the time. The sculpture's current location, provenance, and the specific iconographic interpretation of the ears of corn in relation to the Virgin Mary may provide further insight into the religious and cultural context of the period in which it was created.

As an artist, Hinrik Funhof is recognized for his contributions to the art of the Hanseatic League cities, and his works are considered significant for the study of Northern Renaissance art. "Virgin with the Ears of Corn" remains a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts who are drawn to its historical significance and the skilled craftsmanship of Funhof.
