About the Item

A scarce Baroque Period Spanish altarpiece retablo / reredo, by (attributed) Luis Salvador Carmona (1708-1767), depicting thorn crowned Christ crucified / Cristo crucificado hand carved, polychromed wood with forged iron nails, mounted on later plaque. This rare antique religious work / object of art, circa 1750, most likely commissioned by the Catholic Church of Spain, destined to be prominently displayed as an altarpiece / retablo or as part of a much larger reredo, directly behind the main altar at a Spanish or Continental European Catholic Church (French, Italian, Iberian, Portuguese) The Crucified Christ, displayed mounted on a later faded red fabric upholstered shaped backboard plaque with textured gilt border. The exceptional hand sculpted, carved, gessoed, polychrome painted figure depicting bloodied Jesus, with crown of thorns atop his head, only wearing a undulating shaped cloth around his loin, arms extended and feet crossed, spear head form iron nails through both. The verso covered in an old paper printed backing with metal hook hardware at top for wall hanging. Dimensions (approx): Overall: 22" High, 14.5" Wide, 3.25" Deep Figure only: 16" High, 10" Wide, 3" Deep Historical background: Artist: (attrib) Luis Salvador Carmona (1708, Nava del Rey – 1767, Madrid) was a Spanish Baroque sculptor who came from a family of artists, including uncle of Manuel Salvador Carmona. He was sent to be trained in Madrid in the workshop of Juan Alonso Villabrille y Ron (1663-after 1728), under whom he worked from about 1723. On Villabrille y Ron's death after 1728, Salvador Carmona continued working under the former's son-in-law José Galbán (1705-1766) until about 1732 when he set up his own highly efficient workshop in Madrid, which he ran for over 30 years. He mostly produced religious works. Carmona was one of the most important Spanish Court sculptors. He was heavily involved in the decoration of the Royal Palace of La Granja, and was a founding member of the Academia de Bellas Artes. His official role at Court, combined with his extraordinary technical ability, inspired many of his colleagues and patrons, stimulating demand for his work in all of Spain. This 18th century ecclesiastical work displays various decorative elements of 17th century Sevillian school style of Juan de Mesa (c.1583–1627), whose important realistic works are still used centuries later in the procession during the Holy Week in Seville. His works influenced many later religious artists, including Luis Salvador Carmona. "Cristo de la buena Muerte" translated "The Christ of the Good Death" or "Christ of Mena" are the invocations of Christ that arise from an original monumental sized carving of the Crucified Christ by Pedro de Mena (1628-1688; Granada) dated approximately 1660, and which was preserved in the Church of Santo Domingo until its destruction. -- We absolutely love antique religious items!
