Romanesque school; Spain, 12th century."Santa Lucia".Carved stone.It shows signs of damage caused by the passage of time.Measurements: 50 x 19 x 19 cm.Due to the iconographic attribute of the eyes on the plate, this sculpture can be identified with Saint Lucia of Syracuse (283-304), who was the daughter of noble parents, who educated her in the Christian faith. She took a vow of chastity and consecrated her life to God, but her mother promised her in marriage to a young pagan. Finally, the betrothal was broken, after her mother was cured of her illness by a divine miracle, but the suitor accused her before the proconsul Pascatius, denouncing her as a Christian. Saint Lucy was then arrested and, refusing to offer sacrifices to the pagan gods, Pascatius ordered her to be taken to a brothel to be raped. However, the soldiers were unable to take her away, as the girl remained miraculously rigid as a stone. She was then condemned for witchcraft and taken to the stake, although the fire did not harm her. Her eyes were then gouged out, a symbol in the art of her martyrdom, but she retained her sight nonetheless. Finally, Pascacio ordered her beheading. Patron saint of the blind and protector of the poor and sick children, Saint Lucy is mainly venerated in Syracuse, Venice and Pedro del Monte, although important feasts are also dedicated to her in Scandinavia.Romanesque is the name given to the first great period of medieval art in Europe (the western part), but it is not a uniform aesthetic movement throughout the territory, neither in aesthetics nor in chronology. In the Iberian Peninsula, it is necessary to speak of Visigothic art (from the 5th century until the Muslim conquest, approximately), Asturian art (area of the Principality of Asturias, without Muslim domination, between the end of the 8th and the beginning of the 10th century), Mozarabic art (of the Christians who lived in Muslim territory, from 711 to the end of the 11th century) and not forgetting Islamic Andalusian art, given that, chronologically, we are between the 5th or 5th centuries AD and the 10th or 11th centuries. Romanesque sculpture pursues mainly didactic aims, and its images are conceived as a visual narrative, which must always be clearly legible. At this time, prior to the quest for naturalism that would emerge during the Gothic period, the language is purely conceptual, and functions on the basis of symbols and conventions accepted by all. In this sense, anatomy is synthetic, representative rather than a reflection of the natural, as is the treatment of the face.
