Dolenti (The Virgin and St. John the Evangelist). Piedmontese carver. 1470s
About the Item
Pair of sculptures depicting the Virgin and St. John the Evangelist, portrayed in a mournful attitude. The former has a pained expression on her face, her hands clasped in front of her chest. She wears a long tunic topped with a mantle that also covers her head. St. John, also looking afflicted, holds up a bowed face with one hand and a book with the left hand. He wears a tunic and a robe, however, which leaves his head uncovered with long dark ringlets.
Both sculptures are painted in polychromy and show traces of gilding, which are deficient in places.

- Rare 18th C Wooden Statue of St. John the BaptistLocated in Chicago, ILThis exceptionally life-like antique sculpture is carved from linden wood and once decorated a French church or cathedral. The figure stands authoritatively, with right arm raised and index finger extended toward heaven. It probably stood on a base in a side chapel. According to Christian iconography of the period, this gesture signifies that salvation comes only through baptism. The figure wears a girdle of animal fir, probably from a bear, making symbolic reference to St. John the Baptist's life in the wilderness of Judea, between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. The elegantly carved robe is a baroque element that adds a sense of motion and energy to the artwork. Originally, the sculpture was polychromed, but the original pigments have weathered away and been replaced with whitewash. Repairs, losses, and insect damage are minor and expected due to great age. many vintage and antique religious sculptures...Category
