18th Century Sant'antonio Abate Sculpture in Wood

About the Item

18th Century Sant’Antonio Abate Wood, cm alt. 61 Base 25 x 17.5 cm This wooden sculpture depicts Sant’Antoni Abate. Antonio was born in Come in Egypt in 151. At the age of twenty she sold all his possessions to lead a hermitic life as an ascetic, living in solitude in the abandoned fort of Pispir, enduring and enduring all kinds of temptations. His growing fame led him to abandon the life of a hermit to take care of the numerous faithful. Following the medieval iconography, the saint is depicted wearing the classic habit and hairstyle of monks holding a book in his hands and is accompanied by an animal figure, perhaps a pig, a traditional attribute of him. The slender figure is wisely carved: the deep chiaroscuro that springs from the folds of the habit returns a light volume, the curls of the hair, slightly sprung, and the sincere expression assumed by the saint demonstrate the sculptor's plastic ability. The garments are made by applying layers of golden leaf which is then lacquered at a later time; the artist, thanks to skilful light touches, tries to recreate the idea of ??a precious damask fabric. The sculpture is pertinent to the eighteenth century, clearly dependent on that set of formalistic concepts that were being developed during the period.
