About the Item

A large gilded Baroque frame made of carved wood with stucco applications, partially polychrome-painted. Inner dimensions: 116 x 78 cm The tall, rectangular frame is crowned by a large cartouche featuring interwoven volutes and the inscription "(?) REGINA COELI" (Latin for "Queen of Heaven"). The profiled cornice, adorned with dentil patterns, is embellished with garlands of fruit motifs. At the center is a winged cherub's head. The cornice is supported on either side by winged female busts with patinated bodies, whose headdresses continue the fruit motif. The frame forms side pedestals that taper upwards. The inner molding of the frame is decorated with bead-and-reel or astragal patterns, along with relief figures of the four Evangelists in the corners. Starting at the top left, there is the lion for Mark, the ox for Luke, the eagle for John, and the human or angel for Matthew at the bottom right. The gilding is worn, and there are damages, particularly in the lower area.

Frame, Wood, Late 17th-Early 18th Century
Located in Madrid, ES
Framework. Carved wood, late 17th-early 18th century. Rectangular frame that presents a "base structure" of straight lines, combining moldings of different widths and finishes (inside, a golden band with Fine plant details towards the corners; then a thin red one, and a wider green one, these two the latter imitating marble; outside, another fine gilt molding), enhanced with a series of carvings of vegetal elements in the corners (symmetrical composition), two ovoid elements on the long sides and a highly elaborate cresting with vegetal elements, rockeries, scrolls, flowers and imitation of fabrics (which are joined with those ovoid elements mentioned). The combination of red, green and gold is common in certain types of frames (compare, for example, with the terracotta of Salamanca made around the middle of the 16th century by Juan de Juni, which is kept in the Victoria and Albert Museum). On it, a series of carvings with a lot of movement and depth have been added, showing Baroque influence (reminiscent in certain details of works such as the frame of the Immaculate Conception by Alonso Cano...
