Pair of large baroque statues , Italy Genova 17th century

About the Item

Pair of large statues carved in the round, probably representing cerulean angels (although there is no evidence of wings on the back), or allegories of fortune (in which case we can think that they carry horns of plenty). Lime wood or similar, original rechampi and gilding "a mecca". Very nice effect of movement. Italy Genova? 1st half of the 17th century. 90x49 cm for one; 91x51 cm for the other.

  • Saint George slaying the dragon, Flanders, 17th century
    Located in PARIS, FR
    Carved alabaster group, with base, representing Saint George slaying the dragon. Flanders, 17th c. Missing horse's tail, chips on the base and gluing (with original parts). Traces of polychromy and gold repairs. Beautiful, very expressive ensemble. In a legend, Saint George—a soldier venerated in Christianity—defeats a dragon. The story goes that the dragon originally extorted tribute from villagers. When they ran out of livestock and trinkets for the dragon, they started giving up a human tribute once a year. This was acceptable to the villagers until a princess was chosen as the next offering. The saint thereupon rescues the princess and kills the dragon. The narrative was first set in Cappadocia in the earliest sources of the 11th and 12th centuries, but transferred to Libya in the 13th-century Golden Legend.
