Pax with the Child Jesus as Salvator Mundi. Spain, 18th century.
About the Item
Pax with the Child Jesus as Salvator Mundi. Partially gilded silver and a pearl. Madrid, 1781.
Peace holder with a silver structure in its color, embossed and chiseled, and a round figure of the Child Jesus cast in a mold and gilded. The Child appears naked, with a radiated halo and resting his left leg on a rock, in a contrapposto position of classical heritage. He is represented as Salvator Mundi, with a sphere symbolizing the world in his left hand, crowned by the cross. The Salvator Mundi usually appears blessing with his right hand, a gesture that is eliminated here to make the Child hold a scepter of command topped by a pearl. The figure sits on a scallop-shaped corbel and is situated inside a niche topped with a semicircular arch, with another scallop at its top, in allusion to the sacrament of baptism. The profile of the niche shows a fantastic architectural design, with C-shaped braces, floral elements, thick acanthus leaves, rows of bells and rockery crestings. In the upper area, the bottom of the arch appears worked with small incisions that nuance the surface, enhancing the relief of the rest of the elements. The flat back has a support band also in silver, joined by welding. The piece presents punches from Madrid Villa y Corte from 1781. Illegible silversmith's mark.

- Silver Pax O Portapaz, Spain, 16th CenturyLocated in Madrid, ESPortapaz. Silver in its color and gilded. Century XVI. Portapaz made of silver that has a handle (decorated with delicate plant motifs similar to those of the pilasters) and a female and a male bust at the bottom, as well as other architectural elements on the back, and, on the front, an architectural composition classicist basement (with busts flanking a flower and a cross), two pilasters (vegetal decoration and capital recalling the composite order) with entablature (flowers flanking an angel's head; moldings), and a semicircular arch finish with elements veined in relief under cross and flanked by two architectural motifs in the upper part. This composition frames and enhances a gilt silver relief where you can see the Lament or Cry over the Body of Christ, with the Virgin holding the head of Jesus, Saint John at her side, the Magdalene and other characters, a cross following the group and a landscape background with houses and plant elements. This architectural structure mentioned is similar to the one present in other 16th century portapaces, such as that of the Magdalena de Dos Hermanas parish (Hernando de Ballesteros el Mozo, around 1575); or that of the Galaroza parish (same author and date); or that of the portapaz of San Miguel de Jerez de los Caballeros (in some details); etc. As for the relief, it is possible to clearly see a strong Italian influence, and the similarity between it and important pieces such as the Portapaz known as “de Cisneros by Juan de Burgos (1493-1497; MuseoCatedralicio de Alcalá de Henares), as well as in paintings and reliefs. Also noteworthy are both the male and female busts in the lower area and the Maltese cross (or Saint John's) that appears in this area. This symbol was used since the 12th century as an insignia by the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, also known as the Order of Malta...Category
