Spanish school, 17th century."Allegory of Faith".Wood carving, polychrome.It presents important faults.Measurements: 30 x 22 cm.Wood carving representing a female figure blindfolded and carrying a monstrance or chalice. Both attributes identify the Allegory of Faith. Stylistically, the piece is fully in keeping with the Baroque style: the dynamic attitude conveyed by the gesture, but also the deep, naturalistic drapery, bear witness to this. With her torso slightly arched backwards and her left arm folded to raise her tunic so as not to step on it as she advances, Faith takes the form of a young woman with idealised features. The iconography of Faith is probably distantly derived from the Roman Justice, a blindfolded female figure holding a scale, which in fact Christianity assimilated to the personification of divine justice.
LUCA GIORDANO (Naples, 1634 - 1705)."Allegorical scenes following the models of the decoration of the staircase of El Escorial".Oil on canvas. Re-coloured.It has 19th century frames.Measurements: 80 x 105 cm (x2); 97 x 118 cm (frame, x2).Pair of canvases in which a scene of allegorical character is presented in both cases, starring figures of mythological inspiration. The two images differ from each other, although they have a similar compositional structure. In both works a pyramidal composition can be seen, dominated at the top by the presence of a woman holding an attribute in her hands. Below her are all the figures, who appear to be arranged on a large cloud that acts as a base. In both paintings the background is indistinct and is dominated in the upper area by golden clouds that bathe the scene in a warm luminosity. Both paintings follow the aesthetic of the frescoes painted by Luca Giordano in the Escorial. In 1692 the artist was summoned to the Spanish court to participate in the ornamentation of the monastery of El Escorial, both on the staircase and the vaults of the basilica, where he worked between 1692 and 1694. In this area he combined historical scenes and allegories with real characters.Due to its technical characteristics, such as the directed light, the sobriety of the colour palette and the composition of the scene, this scene can be considered to be part of the Italian Baroque period, particularly linked to the artistic circle of Luca Giordano (Naples, 1634-1705), who painted scenes very similar to the one here, such as the one in the Museo de Bellas Artes in Cuba. During his lifetime Giordano enjoyed great popularity in both Italy and Spain. His style was influenced by artists such as Mattia Preti, Rubens, Bernini and, above all, Pietro da Cortona, whose physical types inspired those of Giordano. During the late 1670s he began his large-scale mural decorations (Montecassino, 1677-1678, and San Gregorio Armeno, Naples, 1679), followed in 1682 by the dome of the Corsini chapel in the church of Carmine (Florence) and those of the gallery and library of the Palazzo Medici Ricardi (Florence). In 1692 he was called to Madrid to carry out the mural decorations in the monastery of El Escorial, both in the staircase and in the vaults of the basilica, where he worked from 1692 to 1694. The former is his most painstaking work, the process of which was closely followed by the monarch himself, Charles II. This was followed by the decoration of the monarch's office and bedroom (destroyed) in the Royal Palace of Aranjuez. He was then commissioned to decorate the Casón del Buen Retiro (ca. 1697); the sacristy of Toledo Cathedral (1698); the decoration of the royal chapel of the Alcázar (destroyed); and Saint Anthony of the Portuguese (1699), in which Giordano depicted eight scenes from the life of Saint Anthony of Padua painted on tapestries. The arrival of Philip V in 1701 and the outbreak of the War of the Spanish Succession led to the end of his royal commissions and his return to Naples, although he continued to send paintings to Spain.
