Pietà - Medieval - Wood - Late 16th / early 17th century
Dating between 1580-1610 Spain / Portugal.
Fruit wooden carved polychrome Pietà (on a loose oak pedestal from the nineteenth century).
This Pieta is a fine example of South-European religious folk art.
Christ and Mary are beautifully carved and complete, so in good condition for its advanced age.
The palette of the polychrome indicates some over-or repainting, but the Christ is fully authentic and similarly most of Maria, the mantle and the foot may have been updated through the centuries. Remains of gilding / silvering. Old worm holes at the bottom.
The above information has been confirmed by the Catharijne Convent in Utrecht.
Dimensions Pieta: 35 x 22 cm. With later pedestal of 43 cm.
