Large romanesque sculpture depicting Saint Lucy. Northern Spain.

circa 1150

About the Item

Large romanesque statue of Saint Lucy of Syracuse is dated from the 12th century. The saint is represented veiled and diademed, she wears a long dress, with an important tie. Stone sculptures of this period and this size are rare. The origin, by the stone used, and the style of the work directs us towards the region of Castile and Leon and especially towards La Bureba. This Romanesque statue is probably an element of an archivolt or splay of a Romanesque church portal. The sculptures of the church of Saint-André de Soto de Bureba, with in particular its remarkable sandstone archivolt elements can be compared to our statue. However, such Romanesque sculptures in sandstone can also be observed on the portal of the Church of Santo Domingo de Soria. The export certificate will be given to the purchaser. 12th century, rare for this format, visible gaps.
