CHILD. POLYCHROMED WOOD. 17TH CENTURY.

Boy. Carved and polychromed wood. 17th century. A polychrome wood carving depicts a semi-nude child, partially covered by a flowing cloth, standing in a pronounced contrapposto pose. This movement is softened by the position of the hands and the expression on the face, with the head inclined. It is possible that this is a sculpture of the Christ Child, given its resemblance to Baroque sculptural groups or painted scenes featuring several figures (more like the Christ Child with Saint John the Baptist than the Holy Family).

SCULTURE IN TERRACOTTA. FRANCISCO LUQUE

Terracotta Sculpture Signed Francisco Luque Francisco Luque Born in 1948, Luque began his studies at the School of Applied Arts in Córdoba in the early 1970s and started participating in group exhibitions in Córdoba and Jaén. His training is primarily self-taught, and he combined teaching in his hometown with a significant artistic career. In 1992, he completed a printmaking course that allowed him to expand his repertoire. Luque has a long and distinguished exhibition history and an impressive curriculum vitae. Some of his works are part of permanent collections in important galleries in Madrid, Valencia, Seville, A Coruña, Murcia, Pamplona, and Córdoba. His work can be seen regularly in both group and solo exhibitions. His sculptural style is based on an ideal concept of human beauty in which forms are embodied through a unique understanding of volume and space. His work often focuses on the nude or the female figure. His Venuses are not very stylized and are exuberant. His works feature exaggerated, exuberant, and robust proportions, which the artist models with a distinctive style that denotes a spirit brimming with humanity. According to some critics, this distinctive style is inspired by new aesthetic trends that are not closely related to classical or academic models. Clearly influenced by the paintings of Peter Paul Rubens, his sculptures represent women with exuberant forms, overflowing with sensuality and carnality, in which warmth is conveyed through the form itself. The disproportion present in his human figures, far removed from conventional canons of beauty, in turn brings him closer to a style reminiscent of Boter, full of tenderness and serenity. The closed brushstroke, with more defined figures and contours that characterizes the work of Fernando Botero, becomes in the sculptures of Francisco Luque a softness of forms and warped curves, which enclose within themselves the feminine spirit, the main motif of the author's work. Works and awards "Maternity" His work has received numerous awards and recognitions (First Prize, Valdepeñas National Painting and Sculpture Competition; First Prize for Sculpture, 25th Anniversary of the Círculo de Bellas Artes of Pozoblanco, Córdoba; Second Prize for Sculpture, 10th Villa de Rota International Prize, Cádiz; and Honorable Mention, Club 63 Sculpture Prize, Jaén; among others). His works are on permanent display at the Diocesan Museum of Fine Arts of Córdoba, the Ruiz Mateos Museum in Rota, Cádiz, the Provincial Council of Córdoba, the National Library in Madrid, and the Santaella Town Hall, among others.<sup>4</sup> An example of Francisco Luque's monumental urban work can be seen on the promenade of his hometown, Santaella.

SAINT NICHOLAS DEVOTIONAL PENDANT. BRONZE, TEXTILE, METAL. 18TH CENTUR...

Devotional medal of Saint Nicholas on a stand. Gilt bronze, textile, metal. 18th century. A gilded bronze devotional medal mounted on a wire support with an oval frame adorned with a crest featuring symmetrical vegetal motifs and another finial below, also composed of vegetal elements and volutes. Within this plain frame is the figure of a saint. Standing, holding a staff in one hand and raising the other in a gesture of blessing, is a male figure dressed in liturgical vestments, accompanied by small figures praying, positioned within a barrel or bucket. Saint Nicholas of Myra or Bari was a bishop who died around the middle of the 4th century AD. One of his best-known miracles was the resurrection of three children (depicted in this work) who had been sacrificed by an innkeeper to feed his customers. Although he was bishop of the city of Myra, he is shown here in liturgical vestments but without the customary mitre. The three spheres above the book are believed to allude to the miracle in which the saint helped the father of three girls to gather a dowry for them (as they are three golden spheres).
