About the Item

Pair of reliefs, San Juan and San Mateo. Polychrome wood. Possibly, Burgos school, 16th century. Pair of carved and polychrome wood reliefs that each show a seated human figure writing, surrounded by books and accompanied by a figure respectively. One, with black hair and a beard, appears accompanied by another winged child figure who brings him an inkwell; the second, younger (beardless) and with blond hair, is shown concentrating on a scroll, while an eagle brings him an inkwell with one leg, leaning on one of them. As corresponds to this type of theme, each one of the Evangelists usually appears accompanied by the corresponding figure of the four that make up the Tetramorph. Thus, Saint John is shown with the eagle and Saint Matthew with the "winged man." Both are shown surrounded by books, in two interiors decorated with gilded furniture and seated on high-backed chairs or thrones. Note the vegetal scrolls of the books, furniture and walls, accompanied by elements of candelieri and fish or dolphin heads, in compositions reminiscent of those found in Renaissance works. This classicist influence can also be seen in the figures (faces, folds, anatomy, posture, etc.) and in the environment they occupy (for example, the moldings and scrolls of the seats and desks, or the aforementioned decoration of the bindings of the books that appear in both works). The iconography that appears in this couple is frequent in the Spanish art of the time, often located in the lower part of the altarpieces (Altarpiece of Foncea, Burgos school). Compare, for example, with the Saint John the Evangelist in the Altarpiece of the Assumption of Ullíbarri Viña (execution attributed to Juan de Ayala II, painted before 1579 by Juan de Oñate) in the Basque Country, where three books also appear in a mezzanine From the bottom; or, to see a different composition, with the set of four Evangelists attributed to Felipe Bigarny (dated between 1501 and 1525) from the Castilian school of the National Sculpture Museum (Valladolid); or with the relief of San Marcos from the altarpiece of Santa Eulalia de Markinez or Marquinez of the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art of Vitoria-Gasteiz (attributed its sculpture to the workshop of Juan de Ayala II and the polychrome to Santos Corres, dated in the second half of the 16th century sculpture and polychrome in 1747). In addition to Felipe Vigarny, in Burgos surroundings it is necessary to take into account Bartolomé Ordóñez and Diego de Siloé (two of the most important names of the first third of the 16th century), along with teachers such as Juan de Balmaseda, Andrés de Nájera, Juan de Juni (he also worked in the city), etc." Size: 72 x 4 x 99 cm. Weight is orientative.

Saint on a bed. Polychromed wood. Flemish school, 16th century.
Located in Madrid, ES
Dream of a saint. Carved and polychrome wood. Flemish school, 16th century. Relief made of carved and polychrome wood that shows an old man with a particular headdress (reminiscent of some chaperones) lying on a bed and accompanied by two friars dressed in habits, who talk to each other. Iconographically, the figure of the old man lying on the bed (note the cushion that raises the upper part of the body, following the common use of the time) who has not died (probably) because he was not completely lying down, is reminiscent of how he was usually represented, for example, to San Antón, San Jerónimo, etc. It is not very likely that it is the subject of the Transit or Death of Saint Francis of Assisi due to the absence of the Stigmata and due to age. It would be part of a cycle of scenes in the altarpiece of a church, an accompaniment that would give the viewer more clues about the identity of those represented. Stylistically, Flemish sculpture...

Tabernacle Door, Wood, Metal, 16th Century
Located in Madrid, ES
This type of elements are basic in churches, chapels, etc. since they contain the Sacred Forms, reason why it is logical the abundance, with a series of typologies more habitual and traditional or old than others. There are also iconographies more common than others, a certain thematic preference according to the date or school to which the work belongs, etc., always related to the Sacrifice of Christ, Salvation, Transubstantiation, Eucharist, etc. for being a key element for Christianity (especially the Catholic) what they will always contain. The present work shows a chalice with Sacred Form in what would originally be the interior of the door (very usual iconography) and a somewhat more striking relief to the exterior. Inside that it is a Eucharistic Christ or Eucharistic Savior, the way of presenting it is more usual of the scenes of the Last Supper, being not so frequent to find it alone like this. Compare for example with works such as the door of the tabernacle attributed to Alonso Cano...
