About the Item

Pair of reliefs; grutescos or candelieri. Carved, polychrome and golden wood. 16th century, and later Pair of reliefs made of hand carved wood, gilded and polychrome, showing a winged angel head (or putti) each, located on a vertical element that serves as the axis of symmetry for the composition of the relief. The rest of the motifs that complete the works are sheets with scrolls, floral or vegetable details, lacerias, moldings, all of clear classical influence. The background does not present any decorative element, neither carved nor painted, leaving the prominence to the mentioned elements. These types of compositions were very common in the Renaissance throughout Europe, as the “fashion” of the grutescos spread from Italy. Compare, for example, with the frieze reflected in an image of Diego de Sagredo's work entitled "Measures of the Roman" (1526, Toledo); details of the Chapel of Santa Librada of the Cathedral of Sigüenza by Francisco de Baeza (circa 1520); others from the façade of the Major Schools of the University of Salamanca; Altarpiece of the Collegiate Church of Torrijos (Toledo), commissioned in 1558 by Juan Correa de Vivar; etc. It should be noted that these decorative motifs will have a long tradition in Spanish Art. It is quite possible that the present relief plaque was created to be part of an altar in a church even if it is not decorated with a religious theme (note that the theme of "winged heads", often called "putti", also proceeds of Italy and is in both civil and religious works)." Size: 14 x 5 x 22 cms.

Pair of mirrors. Carved and polychrome wood. Spanish School, 17th century.

Located in Madrid, ES

Pair of mirrors. Carved and polychrome wood. Spanish School, 17th century. Pair of wall mirrors, each with a rectangular frame and a prominent frame made of carved, polychrome, and gilded wood. These elements are arranged symmetrically, divided into two areas: a thin band with leaves on the inside and a wider one on the outside, with scrolls, acanthus leaves, volutes on the outside, protrusions on the sides, a finial at the bottom, and a helmet-shaped crown, more heraldic than royal due to its details. This one has also been decorated with lines of pearls and an elaborate composition based on simplified plant motifs on a dark background, recalling the bluing common on this type of piece when they were made of metal and royal. One of the helmets faces right, the other left. This crest features a neck guard and a single-piece neck guard, a lowered visor ending in a point, a nape of the neck (which would have been used to accommodate a crest or crest), and, despite not having a wreath, its features are what separate it from royal closed helmets, helms, bascinet, and snouts. Compare, for example, with the Italian cuirassier helmet...
