"Saint Luke the Evangelist", Polychromed Wood, 16th Century

About the Item

Saint Luke is often represented as a man of mature and bearded age, accompanied by the animal of the Tetramorphs with which he is related (Revelation 4: 67) element that is also due to a verse from the Book of Ezekiel (1:10) . The act of writing alludes to his authorship of one of the Gospels, although the Acts of the Apostles are also attributed to him. The image belonged to an altarpiece, hence the back is hardly worked and polychrome, and was located alone or as part of a scene like a Final Judgment. Stylistically, the stew of the image and its design are details that remain of the Gothic tradition. However, the correct anatomy of the figure, the content movement transmitted by the cloths and their posture and the naturalism and expression of their face relate the work to the Renaissance. In Spain, this artistic style was introduced throughout the sixteenth century, with great differences according to regions and artists. After a first stage in which still strong medieval influences were maintained, the second third of the century saw the introduction of Mannerism by the hand of artists who had traveled to Italy and returned with the novelties. It is with this second stage with which the relationship keeps the size, without forgetting the medieval details that still maintains and the content of its movement and expressiveness. Compare, for example, with the works of Alonso de Berruguete and Juan de Juni, the San Lucas and San Marcos evangelists of the Church of Santa Eulalia de Ganuza, today at the Diocesan Museum of Pamplona. It requires cleaning and restoring polychromy. Size: 16 x 7 x 36 cms.

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...
