About the Item

"Child Jesus". Carved and polychrome wood. Spanish school, 17th century. Base or pedestal made later. Christ is presented naked, with a slight contrapposto on the legs and hips that gives some movement to the size and with delicate carnations. He keeps his gaze fixed ahead, while raising one arm in an attitude of blessing, and holding a golden orb alluding to Creation with the other hand. Curly, blonde hair has a tuft in the center of the head. The carving is enhanced by a pedestal, modern but inspired by Spanish Baroque models, formed by lines with a lot of movement and decorated with architectural elements of classicist influence, among which the pairs of volutes projecting from the fronts stand out. Although the pompadour is reminiscent of the works of Martínez Montañés, in the present example the hair is clearly curly. Compare the present work with works such as those preserved in the Museum of Fine Arts of Córdoba, with one in the Municipal Museum of La Roda, some from the Real Monasterio de las Descalzas in Madrid, etc. This type of work was carried out to be dressed, and, normally, its destination was a feminine religious environment (it was considered that feminine devotion should not be directed to certain works or iconography of the Passion because it was too strong), or some oratory deprived of some important residence. · Size: 41x32x87 cm International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses, but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.

Pair of Children, Polychromed Pine Wood, Spain, 18th Century and Later
Located in Madrid, ES
Couple of children. Polychrome pine wood, Century XVIII. Pair of polychrome pine wood carvings that represent two children in an attitude of playing a musical wind instrument, both seated, with their hands towards their faces, and slightly raising one leg to add some movement to a posture that, otherwise, it would be perhaps too static. Due to their postures and attitudes, they would be part of a large and quality altarpiece, judging by the size, the details, the hair, the proportions, etc., elements in which the musical angels were not something strange. Note that those present do not have wings, calling themselves in these cases "putti" and being, in the same way, figures of habitual presence in religious environments despite having emerged from Renaissance classicism and its sources from Antiquity. The proportions of the sizes, the anatomy, the symmetry, the certain plasticism of the hair, etc. are elements that speak of an influence of Neoclassicism in these sculptures. Likewise, a certain resemblance to works from the 18th century of the Castilian school can be appreciated." Size: 22 x 42 x 85 cms / c/peanas 37 x 37 x 180 cm. Weight is merely orientative.
