About the Item
Crucified Christ. Polychrome wood. Flemish school, Mechelen, 16th century.
It has faults.
Polychrome wood carving that shows the deceased Christ (eyes closed and head fallen) on the cross, with a small, golden purity cloth that reveals an anatomy already with a clear classicist influence, as is common in Renaissance carvings throughout Europe . The face and hair and their pictorialism, the movement of the perizonium and the presence of three nails instead of four also correspond to the period. There are known works produced in Mechelen that, perhaps, were intended to form an iconography known as Déesis. These would be carvings of the Virgin and Saint John, which would flank a Crucified in a very common iconography of the time. Some Crucifieds have also been preserved whose group, in principle, would not be known. Compare the present example with the Christ from the so-called “Jardin clos du Calvaire” of the Hof van Busleyden Museum (inv. GHZ BH0003), or that of the Museum of Fine Arts of Arras (inv. 945.3.45), both linked to Master Cornelis .

- Saint on a bed. Polychromed wood. Flemish school, 16th century.Located in Madrid, ESDream 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...Category
