About the Item

Our Lady of Milk polychrome stucco relief scope of Benedetto da Maiano Florence, 16th century cm 66 x 18 x 43 From the 15th century onward, the pleasure of modeling terracotta and stucco for the production of sacred works of art often directed to commissions and private use developed in Florence among the most important and in-demand sculptors. The birth therefore of artifacts of high aesthetic, historical and symbolic value, which featured shields on the base; on which the coats of arms of the purchasing families were then painted. Part of this production is the beautiful Madonna del Latte, in polychrome stucco, presented here. On a linear plinth, slightly arched on the front and ending in two shields (ready to receive the buyers' weapons) rests a splendid Madonna and Child. The same is wrapped in a blue mantle, edged in gold and moved in elegant drapery. Mary holds in her lap, softly seated on a pillow, the infant Jesus. Jesus, having his face surrounded by a golden halo, is depicted with a sprig of coral around his neck (an amulet for childhood and representing, with its red color, the blood of Christ) and is caught while, with a serene expression, looking toward the viewer. Our Lady with her face surrounded by a halo and wrapped in a white veil, with her right hand she holds the Child to herself with motherly gentleness, and with her left hand she offers her breast. Both faces exude great serenity and loving gentleness. The work, very "emotional," is of Florentine production; referable to Benedetto da Maiano and his circle (see Madonna del Latte in the Museum of Palazzo Pretorio in Prato) In case the work is purchased by non-Italian customers the same will require the certificate of free movement. La galleria si occuperà degli aspetti burocratici ed economici della cosa. All transaction costs are therefore included in the price.

Polychrome carved wooden sculpture of Saint Sebastian, late 16th century. JUAN D

Located in Madrid, ES

"Polychrome carved wooden sculpture of Saint Sebastian, late 16th century. JUAN DE JUNI" Attributed to: Circle of Juan de Juni (Valladolid School) Date: Circa 1580-1600 Material: Carved wood and gilded polychrome (estofado) Dimensions: 73 x 33 x 21 cm Origin: Spain Description: A powerful late Renaissance depiction of Saint Sebastian, masterfully carved in wood and richly polychromed and gilded (estofado technique). This Spanish sculpture, probably from the late 16th century, displays expressive anatomy, emotional tension, and dramatic movement—stylistic traits strongly associated with the school of Juan de Juni, a leading figure in Castilian sculpture of the period. Sebastian is depicted half-naked, tied to a tree trunk, with traces of blood and arrows, symbols of his martyrdom. The sculpture demonstrates a high level of craftsmanship, particularly in the modeling of the torso, the twisted posture, and the naturalistic treatment of the face and hair. The piece retains much of its original polychromy and gilding, with some expected age-related losses. It has undergone preventive conservation treatment to ensure its structural stability while preserving its historical authenticity. Condition: Generally good condition considering its age. Some loss of polychromy and gilding is visible, particularly on the torso and base, but the sculpture retains a remarkable degree of originality. A professional restoration was carried out to strengthen and preserve the structure. Provenance: Private collection, Spain. Juan de Juni (circa 1507-1577) was a renowned sculptor and architect of French origin, probably born in Joigny, Burgundy, France. Although born in France, he spent most of his career in Spain, where he became one of the major figures of 16th-century Spanish religious sculpture...
