About the Item

Beautiful and detailed. An exquisite and rare 18th-century Baroque sunburst wall sculpture, likely originating from Southern Europe—Spain or Italy—circa 1680–1750. Hand-carved in wood with original gilded and polychrome finish, it features a central cherub head surrounded by an elaborate array of radiating sunrays. The back reveals red bole ground and age-consistent wear, with clear signs of historical craftsmanship and period authenticity. Originally part of a church altar or devotional display, this piece embodies the opulence and spiritual symbolism of Baroque religious art. Rich patina, natural craquelure, and intricate detailing make it a highly collectible object. No reparation. 102x100 cm.
