Description from the seller
Antique icon depicting a triumphant saintly knight – late 18th / early 19th century - Spain
Icon painted with tempera on a wooden panel, depicting a saintly knight holding a red banner, progressing in a scene of victory. The composition shows in the foreground a figure lying on the ground, probably a defeated foe, giving the whole work an iconography of a protective or warlike saint.
The knight, dressed in a dark garment cinched with red, is mounted on a light-colored horse with harnesses highlighted by red pigments. A cross appears in the background, reinforcing the religious character of the scene.
In its style, with its free proportions and its popular treatment, the work belongs to devotional production of southern influence, possibly Iberian, evoking representations of Saint James Matamoros or a military saint assimilated to him.
Dating: late 18th – early 19th century
Technique: tempera on wood
Origin: Southern Europe, Iberian influence
Significant wear, losses and alterations of the pictorial layer
