Gothic panel. Crown of Aragon, 15th century."Saint Dunstan".In gilded and polychrome wood.It has a label on the back with the name of the owner who gave the work for an exhibition of old paintings (Girona, 1914).Measurements: 40 x 32 cm; 47,5 x 36 cm (frame).The tongs held by the figure in his left hand and the bishop's habit, with mitre and crosier, identify the saint depicted in this Gothic panel as Saint Dunstan. The saint is depicted half-length, in a blessing pose, with the brocade of his tunic carefully reproduced, beneath a relief-worked arcature based on lobed and ribbed profiles. The predominance of gold leaf occupying a large part of the background as a symbol of transcendence was characteristic of the early Gothic period. Several legends have been written about St Dunstan's tongs: according to one of them, originating in the 11th century, the devil visited him in this cell and Dunstan freed himself from temptation by using his tongs to imprison Lucifer's face. Another legend has it that one day he was approached by a strange bipedal creature who asked him to shoe his hooves. When he realised that his hooves were cloven, Dunstan realised that he was in the presence of the devil. He told him that to do his job properly he had to tie him to the wall, and then began to drive the horseshoes in so painfully that the devil begged him to stop. As a condition for his release, the saint made the devil promise never to enter a house with a horseshoe above the door. This is the origin of the lucky horseshoe. Dunstan is considered the patron saint of goldsmiths, as he worked as a blacksmith, painter and jeweller. His feast day is celebrated on 19 May by Catholics, Orthodox and Anglicans. Dunstan (ca. 909-988) was Abbot of Glastonbury, Bishop of Worcester, Bishop of London and Archbishop of Canterbury. Canonised as a saint of the Catholic Church, he played an important role in the reform of monastic life.
Tabernacle door from the early 17th century."The Last Supper".Relief in carved, gilded, stewed and polychrome wood.With its original polychromy.Measurements: 58 x 35 cm; 66 x 43 cm (frame).Relief in carved, polychromed, gilded and stewed wood, with the representation of the Last Supper in the foreground, occupying the lower half of the composition. It is a relief on different planes: the first with the representation of the table and the apostles, in a pronounced foreshortening that shows the artist's notable technical astuteness, behind which is a Baroque curtain, produced by the fall of the cloths hanging from a baldachin. Above this is a gilded censer of markedly baroque forms, with a rounded shape. Ultimately, a cobbled architectural structure indicates that we are in the city of Jerusalem.The Last Supper is one of the most important representations in the history of Western art. Firstly, because it is the specific moment in which the sacrament of the Eucharist is established, since Jesus at this supper made the analogy between his body and the bread, and the wine and his blood. Secondly, the mythical scene, which was painted by Leonardo, laid the foundations of Renaissance aesthetics, thus contributing a conception of perspective that was hegemonic until well into the 20th century.It presents slight flaws and marks of old xylophages.
Door for tabernacle. Spanish School, 16th century.Resurrection of Christ.Carved and polychrome wood.Measurements: 42 x 36 cm.Door for an altar tabernacle made of carved and polychromed wood, which still conserves part of the metal fittings. On the front of the relief, there is a usual decoration in this type of liturgical elements: the representation of the Risen Christ with the gesture of blessing with his right hand, while with his left hand he holds a cross with a phylactery. He rests his feet on the tomb, whose tombstone the miracle has raised, while the two Roman guards remain asleep. The heavenly world is represented in the upper part, with two angels whose trumpet blasts celebrate the event. The architectural structure, based on fluted pilasters supporting a semicircular arch, orders the composition.
Spanish Renaissance school; 16th century."Front of tabernacle".Carved, polychromed and gilded wood.It has an original key.It presents xylophagous remains.Measurements: 58 x 53 x 4 cm.Door for an altar tabernacle made of carved and polychromed wood, which still conserves part of the metal fittings. The piece is conceived in an architectural way as it has a structure flanked by columns that look like Solomonic columns, and a lintel with a classicist aesthetic. On the front of the relief is a decoration that is common in this type of liturgical element: the representation of the Risen Christ with the gesture of blessing with his right hand, while with his left hand he holds a cross with a phylactery. He rests his feet on the tomb, whose slab the miracle has lifted. Despite the distortion of the anatomy of all the figures, typical of the period, the artist has succeeded in capturing a great dynamism in the piece, which is provided by the harmonisation of a clear triangular compositional structure. He portrays the figures with angular lines that intensify the sensation of movement.In the early years of the century, Italian works arrived in our lands and some of our sculptors went to Italy, where they learned first-hand the new standards in the most progressive centres of Italian art, whether in Florence or Rome, and even in Naples. On their return, the best of them, such as Berruguete, Diego de Siloe and Ordóñez, revolutionised Spanish sculpture through Castilian sculpture, even advancing the new mannerist, intellectualised and abstract derivation of the Italian Cinquecento, almost at the same time as it was produced in Italy.
