Description from the seller
This 20th-century triptych presents a religious composition with a distinctly historicist aesthetic, evoking medieval sacred art with Gothic influences. It is formed by three wooden panels, with the central one dominated by the figure of Christ crucified, modeled in relief and gilded, standing out against an equally gilded background with ornamental motifs in deep blue that reinforce the drama and solemnity of the scene.
The side panels, hinged to each other, are decorated with gold motifs on a dark background, probably imitating the damascene or marquetry technique, and they close over the central image to protect it or facilitate its transport, suggesting private devotional use. The finial shaped like a pointed arch emphasizes the Gothic style reference, adding verticality and spiritual contemplation.
The piece combines carpentry techniques and gilding on wood, with a manufacture that, while not necessarily artisanal, reflects care in the details and a clear symbolic intention. Its value lies both in its religious function and in its decorative character, representing a synthesis between liturgical tradition and historicist aesthetics characteristic of the domestic religiosity of the twentieth century.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
