Sculpture, An interesting devotional Effigy - 64 cm - Bois de pin
This late 17th-century devotional effigy stands as a masterclass in the aesthetics of ruin and the poetry of the vestige. Far from diminishing its dignity, the gradual wear of its original polychromy—along with the fragmented glimmers of gold leaf against the bare wood—reveals the active passage of time, bestowing a venerable patina that only centuries can sculpt. Contemplating its eroded robes and the delicate craquelure upon its serene face evokes a unique aesthetic pleasure: one that forsakes pristine perfection to celebrate the organic memory of the material itself. Here, cracks, the loss of the preparatory ground, and the exposed substrate become tangible testaments to faith, history, and the survival of the sacred object.
- Sculpted, high quality, pinewood. Rests of polychromy and goldleaf.
- Presented as seen in photos.
- Private collection in Madrid.
- DIMENSIONS: 64 x 22 x 16
