AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Italian Manufacture, 18th century
Ecclesiastical Tab for the Plenary Indulgence
Sculpted wood, painted and gilded.
Period: 18th century 1700/1750
Dimensions: 37 x 24 x 3 cm
Oil or tempera on panel
- painted on both sides
Description:
Interesting and rare ecclesiastical panel in sculpted wood, characterized by a dynamic sinuous profile in late Baroque/Rococo taste, with a succession of volutes and a central upper and lower terminus. The edge preserves traces of the original gilding, while the central field presents a strongly patinated olive-green hue.
In the center stands, in large black capital letters, the inscription:
“INDULGENZA PLENARIA”
In one of the photographs there is also the variant or inscription underneath “INDULGENZA DI 7. ANNI E 7. QUA…”, presumably referring to the traditional formula of indulgences expressed in years and fifties. This element confirms the religious and devotional function of the object.
The panel was intended for display inside a church, chapel, oratory, or near a privileged altar, communicating to the faithful the granting of the indulgence associated with certain devotional practices.
Dating considerations
The curved profile, with broad opposing volutes, is still strongly indebted to the late Baroque vocabulary and eighteenth-century Rococo. Also the construction technique, gilding now widely worn, and the overall patina are compatible with an antique original object in every part. The inscription, however, could have been reused or modified over time.
Condition report
The work presents conservation conditions consistent with its age and intended use. Diffused abrasions and wear affect the gilding of the sculpted profile, with numerous small losses exposing the preparation and underlying support locally.
The painted field shows marked patina, chromatic alterations, surface deposits, scratches, abrasions and small losses of the paint layer. There are visible cracks in the wooden support, particularly in the lower central area and where the volutes are; further small openings can be seen in the upper part.
The inscription shows wear and unevenness compatible with use and possible interventions/restorations carried out over time.
There are ancient metallic elements for suspension, with evident oxidation. Overall the artifact preserves a particularly evident antique patina.
Ideal for collecting and investment
- The frame present is included with the artwork for free. Any transport damage related only to the frame cannot be the subject of refund or dispute.
Photographic note: Some images of the work were professionally taken with artificial lighting (studio spotlight) to more clearly highlight the painting characteristics, the material, the color, and the conservation state of the painting. Perception of colors and brightness may therefore vary slightly from viewing the work under natural or ambient light.
