Child Jesus Savior of the World. Wood. Flemish school, 16th century.

About the Item

Child Jesus. Carved and polychrome wood. Flemish school, towards the first half of the 16th century. Presents restorations. Baby Jesus with polygonal base made of carved and polychrome wood. The figure is presented naked, standing, with the right hand raised in a gesture of blessing and the left holding an orb. It is necessary to comment (because it is frequent) the lack of work in an area on the back of the base that the sculpture has. Before continuing, two particularities must be highlighted: the right hand in this work has the palm facing the figure and not towards the front, as is most common in the works of this school; Move the left leg forward instead of the right. The arrangement of the curls in the hair is also not entirely common. The base has a common shape in these carvings (polygonal and fine moldings), combining gold with red polychrome. Reflecting the new “modern devotion” of the time, these figures of Children Jesus were usually used in private oratories (homes, convents, etc.), showing the desire of the time to emphasize the humanity of Christ and a possibly widespread particular cult. by the Dominicans. These small figures, prestigious but relatively affordable, had great success outside the Netherlands, with those made in Mechelen being the best considered, and with Spain being a very frequent destination for the “dolls or dolls of Mechelen” (Virgins, Children of Jesus , etc.). The large number of Baby Jesus that were exported to Spanish territory is striking, of which a significant number are preserved. They were works that, on many occasions, bore marks, thus highlighting their origin. Within the stages into which Mechelen's production is usually divided, there is talk of a third in which the production of pieces intensifies (the majority of preserved works correspond, therefore, to this period), but, curiously, the Children (which until now were the second most often made piece) move to third place, being surpassed by Santa Ana. The measurements are usually between 35 and 37 centimeters high in the classic format (with a depth of between 7 and 8 centimeters) and 29 to 30 centimeters in the smallest format (with a depth of between 4 and 7 centimeters). Its appearance is thinner, with facial features that are sometimes already angular (they continue to be made “round” following previous models, but these are more schematic now), and it appears to place a cushion under the feet. This stage is dated between 1515 and 1535. Compare, for example, a Child from the Louvain-la-Neuve Museum (inv. VH552). Above all, we must remember one in the Museo voor Religieuze Junst (Inv. 0011) with the base with cushion on an architectural form due to its elongated shapes, located in the period of intensification of production. · Size: 15x8x40 cm International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.

Saint on a bed. Polychromed wood. Flemish school, 16th century.

Located in Madrid, ES

Dream of a saint. Carved and polychrome wood. Flemish school, 16th century. Relief made of carved and polychrome wood that shows an old man with a particular headdress (reminiscent of some chaperones) lying on a bed and accompanied by two friars dressed in habits, who talk to each other. Iconographically, the figure of the old man lying on the bed (note the cushion that raises the upper part of the body, following the common use of the time) who has not died (probably) because he was not completely lying down, is reminiscent of how he was usually represented, for example, to San Antón, San Jerónimo, etc. It is not very likely that it is the subject of the Transit or Death of Saint Francis of Assisi due to the absence of the Stigmata and due to age. It would be part of a cycle of scenes in the altarpiece of a church, an accompaniment that would give the viewer more clues about the identity of those represented. Stylistically, Flemish sculpture...
