DOLORES RODEIRO BOADO (Galicia, 1853-1898)."Saint James the Apostle".Carved and polychrome wood.Measurements: 113 x 47 x 28 cm.The image of Saint James the Apostle, whom we recognise by his attributes such as the book, the wooden reed with the gourds and the shells on the front of his cloak. Aesthetically, the work follows the stylistic precepts of the Baroque, as can be seen in the treatment of the fabrics that make up the tunic, or the volume achieved by the artist in the waist area. However, the face and hair reveal that this is a 19th-century work. Little is known of Dolores Rodeiro Boado's biography. She was one of the youngest daughters of the Compostela sculptor Francisco Mª Rodeiro Permui, an artist who worked in the second and third thirds of the 19th century. Except for a pause in her training when she moved to Madrid in 1884, where she studied Antique Drawing and Antique Modelling at the School of Fine Arts, her artistic education was linked to her father. In 1875 he obtained an Honourable Mention at the Regional Exhibition in Santiago de Compostela, for a Crucifix and a Saint Ignatius of Loyola.James of Zebedee or James the Greater was one of the first disciples to shed his blood and die for Jesus. A member of a family of fishermen, brother of John the Evangelist - both nicknamed Boanerges ('Sons of Thunder') because of their impulsive temperaments - and one of the three closest disciples of Jesus Christ, the apostle James was not only present at two of the most important moments in the life of the Christian Messiah - the transfiguration on Mount Tabor and the prayer in the Garden of Olives - but was also part of the small group that witnessed his last miracle, his resurrection on the shores of Lake Tiberias. After Christ's death, James, passionate and impetuous, formed part of the initial group of the early Church in Jerusalem and, in his evangelising work, he was assigned, according to medieval traditions, the Spanish peninsular territory, specifically the northwestern region, then known as Gallaecia. Some theories suggest that the current patron saint of Spain arrived in the northern lands via the uninhabited coast of Portugal. Others, however, suggest that he travelled along the Ebro valley and the Cantabrian Roman road, and there are even those who claim that Santiago reached the Peninsula via what is now Cartagena, from where he set out on his journey to the western corner of the map.

"..Thank God I am here to write this, we all as usual turned out half an hour before day break, and when it got light the guns on the advanced field works thrown up by the turks began to fire, an aide de camp came gallloping in to us to say we were to advance, as the enemy were approaching in large numbers, so on we went near the field works, the enemy still continued to move on & the round shot came into us (spent balls) but still with sufficient force to do damage, one ball came rolling down the hill straight where I stood, I saw it was coming right to me, so put the spurs into my horse and only just in time, for it went close behind me and broke the legs of two horses, the next took a long hop and hit a man on the head and he never moved more... The enemy had advanced.. took one of the hills from the turks... after a time up comes their cavalry part of which made a dash where the 93rd flanked by turks were waiting to receive them, and as soon as they saw them coming away went the turks leaving the 93rd to stand the brunt of it... and sent the Huzzars to the right, at the same time another body of cavalry came at us, the Greys - 6th were ordered to meet them... however they soon sent them off with a flea in their ear & our horse artillery opening on them quickened their pace, we then advanced to the top of the hill and saw their army in the valley ... it was near 12 o clock and all remained at status quo for a couple of hours, when an order from Lord Raglan was brought to Lucan to attack the enemy which he did by sending the light cavalry into the greatest trap that ever was made, we and the Greys advanced first and then somebody said let the light cavalry go on, and on they went ... to take some guns in front, we followed at a trot, they went at a gallop and we saw nothing more of them until we saw them coming back by ones and twos some mounted but mostly dis-mounted, such a smash never was seen , they were murdered it seems they got & took - killed the gunners at the guns but could not keep them, the infantry played on them and when they looked round they found their way stopped by cossacks, then they cut their way through and about 40 came back in a body, the French Cavalry came down at this time and cleared the opposite hills of the guns but for us now we got about three parts of the way and the shot & shells & bullets came down on us like hail, every second I expected to get one, when luckily Scarlett gave the word Halt.
