Tabernacle Door, Wood, Metal, 16th Century

About the Item

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 that is in a private collection; "El Salvador with the Eucharist" by Juan de Juanes that is kept in the Prado Museum in Madrid (it is necessary to note here the similarity between the Sacred Form on the back of the present work and that of this table); Eucharistic Savior of Fernando Yáñez de la Almedina (private collection), etc. But, above all, we must compare it with a sanctuary door that is kept in the Lázaro Galdiano Museum in Madrid and with the door of the tabernacle of the main altar of the Parish Church of San Salvador de Agüero (Huesca) because it is the same iconography that the one of the present example, varying in small details like the position of the head of Christ, the folding of the cloth of the superior zone, etc. Size: 26 x 3.5 x 39.5 cms.
