17th century Spanish school."Christ".Carved and polychrome wood.With silver potencies and finials.Measurements: 30 x 30 cm (Christ); 78 x 46 cm (total cross).Round carving made of carved and polychromed wood, with some silver elements, such as the crown of thorns, the base with the healing serpent and the ends of the cross. This piece stands out for the naturalism and detail of its workmanship, where the author has demonstrated a polished technique that can be seen in the capture of the anatomy, especially the fingers and torso. This is a devotional work that depicts a crucifixion, which is why it has been rendered with great dramatism, seeking to transmit Christ's suffering, his physical pain, to the faithful through the bloody depiction of his wounds. Likewise, Christ's constitution conveys a famished sensation of weakness, which is reinforced by the extremely marked and elongated dimensions of his arms and the rest of his anatomy. The polychromy seeks naturalism in the flesh tones, and at the same time emphasises the blood flowing from the wounds in this dramatic and naturalistic sense.
Post-Byzantine Orthodox cross, Mount Athos, 17th century.Cedar wood.In the 19th century it was mounted inside a silver-plated metal cross.Measurements: 7 x 4.5 cm; 21 x 10 cm (blessing cross).The cross has two sides: one depicting an archaic crucified Christ with stiff legs at whose feet is the skull of Adam; on Christ's side is the profile of the Virgin; the other depicting the baptism of Christ with St John and the dove of the Holy Spirit.Post-Byzantine crosses are rare on the market, often kept in museums. They are small crosses carved from olive, cedar or boxwood and depict scenes from the life of Christ.They were originally intended as pectoral crosses, but were later incorporated into objects for liturgical use: in our case, it was transformed into a blessing cross in the 19th century by inserting it into a solid silver and silver-plated structure (the structure is made of silver-plated metal, the decoration of the leaves is solid silver). This cross has been the object of deep devotion; the sculpted figures show the wear and tear of the relief due to rubbing against the pectoral of the wearer.
Bolognese school of the mid-18th century."Reliquary of Saint Catherine of Siena".Gilded and polychrome wood. Some of the objects in solid silver.There is a restored break in the top of the urn. The urn is damaged.Measurements: 50 x 35 x 28 cm.Large Bolognese Baroque reliquary of Saint Catherine of Siena from the mid-18th century. This rare object of devotion comes, after several generations, from an Italian family from Bologna deeply devoted to the saint, who came into possession of the precious relic in the 18th century and decided to have a showcase built with the diorama of the saint's room in Siena in order to preserve it. The showcase, in the Bolognese Baroque style, is made of carved and gilded wood and ends with a niche containing, in a crown of lilies, a hair of Saint Catherine of Siena closed by the papal seal. The scroll above the relic reads: "Capelo di S. Catera". Inside the showcase there is a table and a chair, as well as some objects related to the saint, such as the crucifix, the book and the inkwell, the oil lamp and the ointments she used when she went to visit the sick. Some of these objects are made of solid silver. Catherine Benincasa (Italian: Caterina Benincasa), in religion Catherine of Siena was born on 25 March 1347 in Siena, Tuscany, and died on 29 April 1380 at the age of 33 in Rome. She was a Dominican mystic tertiary who had a great influence on the Catholic Church. She was declared a saint and Doctor of the Church on 29 June 1461. The piece is in a good state of conservation, with small losses and old restorations to the window, but the original gilding has been preserved.
Chest; Indo-Portuguese work, 18th century.Polychromed wood.The paintwork is worn.Measurements: 14 x 41 x 25.5 cm.The following piece made in wood can be related to the models created by Indian goldsmith artists, belonging to different colonies such as Goa. Following the local tradition, these craftsmen made fantastic geometric forms of great complexity, with a delicate filigree of entangled silver. This type of pieces became an object of artistic interest, thus increasing a great demand from Europe. There, they were considered luxury goods. These works, on their way through the American continent, had a great aesthetic influence on local production. This is the case in Peru, where they assimilated this technique to such an extent that it is difficult to distinguish between the two productions.In this particular case, these characteristics can be seen in the ornamentation of the box, which is profusely ornamented and, despite its magnificence, does not lose its sense of symmetry.
