The Infant St John the Baptist, a 17th Century Sevillian school Spanish Baroque

About the Item

The Infant St John the Baptist, A first half of 17th century Sevillian School Cercle of Juan de Mesa Velasco (Córdoba, 1583 - Séville, 1627) Polychrome and carved wood Height: 65 cm This charming, intricately carved polychrome wooden statue finds its inspiration in the model of the Blessed Infant Jesus created by the early seventeenth-century Sevillian sculptor Juan de Mesa Velasco. Standing, leaning on his left leg, in contrapposto, the chubby-bodied Saint John the Baptist displays a voluminous hairstyle with curly hair and a tuft on the top of his head. The positions of the arms indicate that he had in his left hand the reed cross (his biblical attribute), while the index finger of his right hand points forward. Juan de Mesa y Velasco (1583-1627) was one of the great sculptors representing the Sevillian school of the early 17th century, his flagship work, one of the most accomplished of which is preserved in the Museum of Fine Arts in Córdoba, is the Infant Jesus Blessing, with his characteristic hairstyle: the locks that form a tuft on the top of the forehead.

17th Century Antwerp Cabinet with Painted Panels Attributed to H. Van Balen

Located in PARIS, FR

This precious cabinet is one of the rare emblematic works of the city of Antwerp, produced in 17th century thanks to the collaboration between a painter and a cabinetmaker, and intended to adorn Kunstkammer (private museums) or art cabinets. Our cabinet is decorated with 13 oil painted panels featuring mythological and allegorical subjects and perfectly reflects the Antwerp pictorial trend of the early 17th century. Definitely in the spirit of the times, where one of the roles of the kunstkammer (the room for which it is intended) is to be able to contemplate the world in all its aspects. It opens with two doors revealing 10 drawers, 9 of which have painted panels on the front, a central door and an upper compartment, the interior of which is also decorated with a painted panel. The left door depicts a subject from Roman mythology: Pomona and Vertumnus in the garden. The fruits and vegetables placed at the feet of Pomona evoke the allegory of summer and the abundance of nature. While on the right door, under the airs of Venus and Love...
