19th Century Spanish Colonial Religious Folk Art Santo Altar Figure

About the Item

An antique Spanish Colonial period hand carved and painted santo church altar figure. Born in Mexico in the first half of the 19th century, the religious folk art sculpture depicting an Archangel, with polychrome paint over carved wood. What we love about this piece is the incredible and unusual patina! Beautifully aged, warm subdued color, heavily worn and faded, organically distressed, with chippy paint and amazing natural craquelure finish. Full of rich antique character, rustic old world charm and historic depth aquired from a life well lived, the charming example mounted to a later ebonized wood display base, lacking wings, loss to right hand and foot.

Located in Forney, TX

A scarce 17th century Spanish Colonial carved wood santo with provenance from the National Museum of the Philippines Manila. circa late 1600s A large part of what makes this example so very rare is not just the age and condition, but the saint depicted, San Roque. The Hispano-Philippine (Spanish-Filipinos) hand carved hard wood religious altar figure presents splendidly, with scattered remnants of original gesso and polychrome pigments, the exceptionally sculpted religious folk art depicting San Roque (Saint Roch or Rocco), the 14th century Catholic patron saint frequently invoked against the plaque, various infectious disease, as well as patron saint of dogs, invalids, of falsely accused people, and of bachelors, amongst others. Provenance / Acquisition: Retaining registration - identification label to verso from The Republic of the Philippines (RP) National Museum of the Philippines Manila with hand written registration number. Acquired from highly reputable auction house, Austin Auction Gallery, est. 1982, Austin, Texas. February 2022 catalog. Dimensions: (approx) Overall: 15.75" High, 5" Wide, 4" Deep.
