Lot 24
Reliquary of Saint Fortunata. Spain or Naples, 16th century.Carved, gilded and corollated wood.It presents faults, restorations and losses.Measurements: 25 x 17 x 12 cm.Reliquary in carved, gilded and corleada wood representing Saint Fortunata, with a perfectly defined bust. It stands on a quadrangular base on which the saint's name is written.Reliquaries of this type were somewhat common from the Gothic period onwards, usually referred to as "testas" in documentation contemporary to their production and used to contain relics of the head, as carvings of arms, etc. were used for relics of other parts of the saint's body. It should be remembered, however, that at that time practically any item that had been in contact with the saint or his mortal remains (cloths, burial soil, etc.) was considered a sacred relic. The evolution of the centuries can be seen in the details of the carvings.

In particular, the legacy of Giorgione's vivid portraits of humble characters and old women can be appreciated,
