Description from the seller
Ancient icon depicting a triumphant saintly knight – late 18th / early 19th century - Spain
Icon painted in tempera on panel, showing a saintly knight holding a red banner, advancing in a scene of victory.
The composition presents in the foreground a figure lying on the ground, probably a defeated enemy, endowing the whole with iconography of a protective or warrior saint.
The knight, dressed in a dark garment cinched with red, is mounted on a light-colored horse whose harnesses are accented with red pigments. A cross appears in the background, reinforcing the religious character of the scene.
In terms of style, its loose proportions and popular treatment, the work belongs to devotional production with southern influence, possibly Iberian, evoking representations of Saint James Matamoros or a military saint of a similar type.
Dating: late 18th – early 19th century
Technique: tempera on panel
Origin: Southern Europe, Iberian influence
Notable wear, losses and alterations of the pictorial layer
