Reredos Fragment, Gilded Wood, circa Second Half of the 17th Century

About the Item

Altarpiece. Wood carved and gilded. Baroque, towards the second half of the 17th century. The Solomonic column was an element already known in the Renaissance (and before) that was popularized in art, in large part, thanks to the Baldachin of St. Peter's Basilica of the Vatican by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1624-1633), where he presented branches. In Spain, this type can already be seen in the Silver Tabernacle of the Cathedral of Seville (Juan de Alfaro, 15931596), used in altarpieces from the 1620s; nevertheless, the apogee of the Solomonic column will come from the hand of José Benito de Churriguera, whose altarpieces have an extraordinary importance since the second half of the 17th century and already at the beginning of the 18th century (note similarities and differences between the present altarpiece and that of the Convent of San Esteban de Salamanca of 1693). It has been proposed a periodization of the Spanish baroque altarpiece in three phases: first third of the seventeenth century (prolongation of classicism), second half of the seventeenth century (first phase characterized by the Solomonic columns and a second, with most stipes) and first half of the 18th century (altarpiece plus Rococo)." Size: 193 x 80 x 273 cms.
