About the Item

A wood carved baroque figure depicting John the Baptist (also called Johannes the Baptist) with original polychrome paint. Height: 152 cm. Originates from a Catholic Cathedral in the Philippines, c. 1750-1770. Hand-carved in Balayong hard wood, exposing the well executed workmanship. The polychrome paint is displaying a wonderful, natural aged patina. The sculpture is in original and overall good condition and shows some age cracks and small defects (see photo).

  • Large Antique Soild Oak Sculpture of Saint John the Baptist w. Lamb of God 1850
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Unique hand carved church statue of Jewish prophet, John the Baptist, circa 1850. When you think of the life of Saint John the Baptist (or Baptiste as it is spelled here) then you can only come to the conclusion that in fact he was one of the most important human beings in the history of the world in general and of Christianity in particular. Saint John is sometimes depicted with a lamb to symbolise his recognition of Jesus as the Son of God. When John baptised Jesus in the River Jordan he said 'Behold, the Lamb of God'. In this case the sculptor chose to portray a standing lamb which is a rare feature and this antique was obviously carved in the Baroque Style. This Style is less detailed (or some would say 'more naive') than for example the Renaissance Style, but there are many collectors who love and collect this Style. Also, because it was most used in antique churches all over Europe and this Style also is most used in antique religious paintings of the old masters. Just like with 17th century Baroque Saint...
