About the Item

Sculpture (figural candlestick). Carved and polychrome wood, wrought iron. Castilian school, 16tyh-17th centuries. Carved and polychrome wooden sculpture placed on a simple base showing a half-naked male figure, holding with his hands a cloth that covers the lower part of his body in front and holding up a wrought iron cone to put a candle. The nude, the study of anatomy, the contrapposto and the twist of the torso and waist of the figure are details that would speak of a classicist influence in sculpture. It is also worth highlighting the movement that the posture brings to the piece, placing one foot behind the other and turned with respect to that and slightly turning the waist. Wood was the most worked material in Spanish Renaissance sculpture, usually with a polychrome finish and with gold and stew. It was not until the second third of the sixteenth century that sculptors emerged in Spain who reached great heights in the Spanish Renaissance, inspired by Italian forms, but providing their own national touch, creating different schools, and with a clear preference for polychrome wood. and stewed. In this time, one of the main workshops was Valladolid, with names like Alonso Berruguete and Juan de Juni. Later, the art was evolving towards a classicist or romanist mannerism, with an important influence of Italian masters, with clear influence of Michelangelo and names like Gaspar Becerra, Esteban Jordán, Juan de Ancheta, etc." · Size: 18x18x48 cms.

The fountain. Polychrome terracotta. 20th century, after CARRIER-BELLEUSE
Located in Madrid, ES
The fountain. Polychrome terracotta. 20th century, following models of CARRIER-BELLEUSE, AlbertErnest (Aisne, 1824-Sèvres, 1887). The figure shows a boy, lying down and almost totally naked, with his head enhanced by a golden leaf crown. It is shown with a shell (with touches in gold), taking water from a pitcher next to it, thus recalling the allegories of the rivers or of the birth of the same of Ancient Rome. It is necessary to compare the present work with the one entitled “La Source” by Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, preserved, for example, at the Art Institute of Chicago or the Portland Museum of Art (of which there are a number of variants, changing the characters and the material used). Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse was a French sculptor and draftsman trained with David d'Angers and at the School of Fine Arts in Paris. He achieved international recognition from his participation in the Salon of the French Artists of 1861 (Third Medal), reaching outstanding works such as various busts of...
