About the Item

This hand-carved sculpture of Saint Francis was produced in Valladolid, Spain, circa 1650, during the 17th century. The figure is carved from wood and finished with polychrome decoration and gold leaf embellishments, reflecting the materials and techniques commonly used in Spanish religious sculpture of the period. The sculpture presents Saint Francis in a traditional devotional representation, intended to convey spiritual presence and clarity of iconography. The carving shows careful attention to anatomy, facial expression, and drapery, elements that were essential in Baroque era religious works aimed at fostering contemplation and devotion. The applied polychromy enhances the realism of the figure, while the gold leaf details add contrast and visual emphasis to specific elements of the composition. Wooden sculptures of saints from Valladolid are particularly valued for their craftsmanship, as the region was an important center for religious sculpture in 17th-century Spain. This work would have been created for devotional use, likely intended for a chapel, church, or private oratory. The sculpture stands as a strong example of Spanish Baroque religious art, combining skilled hand carving, traditional polychrome technique, and devotional function. It offers both historical significance and sculptural presence, suitable for collectors of early religious art or interiors that incorporate historical devotional objects.
