Pair of Solomonic Columns, Pinewood, 17th Century

About the Item

Pair of columns of carved pine wood that present the twisted shaft in a helical way (Solomonic) and decorated with interlocks of birds, scrolls, leaves, fruits and birds intermingled and are topped by two Corinthian capitals (with the two levels of leaves under the scrolls more similar to those of oak than to acanthus). Although it was an element used in architecture before, the Solomon column is a more known and habitual piece in the Baroque, especially since its use by Bernini in the canopy of St. Peter's Vatican (completed in 1633). He soon arrived in Spain, being used in Andalusia for the first time circa 1639 and in Madrid in 1636, spreading throughout the peninsula and colonial territories since then. Normally, they were decorated with branches and grape clusters in slight relief. Although the presence of birds in this type of elements is not the most common, they can be seen in pieces such as the Solomonic column preserved in the Vivanco Foundation collection (Briones, La Rioja, Spain)." Size: 37 x 37 x 215 cms.
