General Description

Religious carving in polychromed wood depicting Saint John the Evangelist, attributed to the Spanish school of the late 15th or early 16th century. The work shows features typical of the late Gothic, with a frontal composition, marked stylization of the forms, and a serene expression of devotional character.

Artisanal carving in solid wood, it retains traces of its original polychromy and an ancient patina that evidences its long history. The back is barely worked, a common feature of sculptures intended for altarpieces or niches.

The piece shows wear, losses of polychromy, cracks typical of aging wood, old woodworm holes, and ancient restorations, elements visible in the photographs and compatible with a work of great antiquity.

This is a sculpture of notable interest for collectors of religious imagery and Spanish medieval art.
