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.
Lot 28
Wine jug. Talavera or Toledo, 16th century.Glazed ceramic.Measurements: 25 x 14 cm.This wine jug, decorated on its outer surface with plant and floral elements in manganese blue on a white background, is a good example of the blue and white ceramics of Talavera or Toledo. The great boom in the manufacture of Talavera ware took place between the 16th century and the mid-18th century, when French tastes were introduced into Spain, and the clientele began to prefer pieces from Alcora. However, Talavera experienced a new Golden Age at the end of the 19th century, with the historicism.

The frieze design seems to be inspired by the second century marble frieze of the "Borghese Dancers", now in the Louvre.Condition Report: There are some marks, scratches, knocks, chips, and abrasions consistent with age and fairly heavy use. Surface fairly dirty throughout- some looks engrainedLacks plinth top, raised banding with losses throughout most notably to upper edge- both to the greek key band and to the rope twist beading beneath.Strong light reveals a diagonal flaw to one side- this seems to come from a slightly darker inclusion toward the base- with what looks like remedial infill all the way up.Base with stress cracking and old repaired sectionPlease see the additional photographs as a visual reference of condition and which form part of this condition report.Condition Report Disclaimer
