TWO RELIEFS, EVANGELIST SAINTS JOHN AND MATTHEW. POLYCHROMED AND GILT ...

Pair of reliefs, Saint John and Saint Matthew. Polychrome wood. Possibly from the Burgos school, 16th century. Pair of reliefs made of carved and polychrome wood, each showing a human figure sitting and writing, surrounded by books and accompanied by a figure respectively. One, with black hair and a beard, is accompanied by another winged child figure who brings him an inkwell; the second, younger (beardless) and with blond hair, is shown concentrating on a scroll, while an eagle brings him an inkwell with one paw, resting on one of them. As is appropriate for this type of subject, each of the Evangelists is usually accompanied by the corresponding figure of the four that make up the Tetramorph. Thus, Saint John is shown with the eagle and Saint Matthew with the “winged man”. Both are shown surrounded by books, in interiors decorated with gilded furniture and seated on high-backed chairs or thrones. Note the vegetal scrolls on the books, furniture and walls, accompanied by candelieri elements and fish or dolphin heads, in compositions reminiscent of those found in Renaissance works. This classicist influence can also be seen in the figures (faces, folds, anatomy, posture, etc.) and in the environment they occupy (for example, the mouldings and scrolls on the seats and desks, or the aforementioned decoration on the bindings of the books that appear in both works). The iconography that appears in this couple is frequent in Spanish art of the period, often situated in the lower part of altarpieces (Main Altarpiece of Foncea, Burgos school). Compare, for example, with Saint John the Evangelist of the Main Altarpiece of the Assumption of Ullíbarri Viña (execution attributed to Juan de Ayala II, painted before 1579 by Juan de Oñate) in the Basque Country, where three books also appear in a loft in the background; or, to see a different composition, with the set of four Evangelists attributed to Felipe Bigarny (dated between 1501 and 1525) from the Castilian school of the National Sculpture Museum (Valladolid); or with the relief of Saint Mark from the altarpiece of Saint Eulalia by Markinez or Marquinez in the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art in Vitoria-Gasteiz (its sculpture attributed to the workshop of Juan de Ayala II and the polychrome to Santos Corres, the sculpture dated in the second half of the 16th century and the polychrome in 1747). In addition to Felipe Vigarny, in the Burgos area it is necessary to take into account Bartolomé Ordóñez and Diego de Siloé (two of the most important names of the first third of the 16th century), together with masters such as Juan de Balmaseda, Andrés de Nájera, Juan de Juni (who also worked in the city), etc.

HENRI II STYLE PENDULUM CLOCK, 19TH CENTURY.

“Henri II” style wall clock, 19th century. The dial, in white, has Arabic numerals and is protected by glass. The clock case, made of carved wood, shows a decoration based on architectural elements (diamond points, columns, vases, etc.) and leaves a rectangular space with a dark wood decoration based on putti and plant motifs in which there is a hole to see the pendulum, which is highlighted by a decoration in gilded metal. The Henri II style (“Henri II”) was the name given to an artistic style that emerged in France in the 19th century and was inspired by the Renaissance of this country, creating a series of furniture with the type of decoration that we see in this work. It was so successful that it was revived in the Neo-Renaissance style, which lasted well into the 20th century.

Frame. Carved and gilded wood. 18th century. Rectangular frame with a semicircular top in the centre, crowned by a composition with leaves and elements of the Passion of Christ (Crown of Thorns, Nails, etc.) decorated with a series of bands, alternating plain ones with two different strings of pearls. Although the 18th century is known for Rococo, it is not the only artistic style of the period: the decoration and shapes of the frame show a closer relationship with ancient Roman art, a common influence in Neoclassicism.

FRAME. WOOD, METAL. LATE 17TH CENTURY-EARLY 18TH CENTURY.

Frame. Carved wood. Late 17th century-early 18th century. Rectangular frame that presents a “base structure” of straight lines, combining moldings of different widths and finishes (on the inside, a gold band with fine plant details towards the corners; next, a thin red one, and another wider green one, these last two imitating marble; on the outside, another fine gold molding), enhanced with a series of carvings of plant elements in the corners (symmetrical composition), two ovoid elements on the longer sides and a very elaborate cresting with plant elements, rocailles, volutes, flowers and imitation fabrics (which are joined with those ovoid elements mentioned). The combination of red, green and gold is common in certain types of frames (compare, for example, the terracotta from Salamanca made around the middle of the 16th century by Juan de Juni, which is preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum). A series of carvings with a lot of movement and depth have been added to it, showing the influence of the Baroque (it recalls in certain details works such as the frame of the Immaculate Conception by Alonso Cano in the Cathedral of Malaga).

WALNUT CUPBOARD. 19TH CENTURY.

Wardrobe. Walnut wood. 19th century. A two-body, carved walnut cabinet with three lockable doors at the top, a space in the centre, and two drawers and two doors with metal handles at the bottom. On the outside, it displays a series of carvings (architectural elements, coats of arms, plant motifs, vases, bands, smooth mouldings, etc.) with a classicist influence and others that recall elements of a strong tradition in Spanish cabinetmaking (“scrolls” on the doors at the top that recall the Gothic tradition, pearls, etc.). The 19th century was a time in European cabinetmaking when a number of influences and styles were mixed together to create new pieces that were rooted in tradition. This example features Renaissance-style reliefs (vases, mouldings, etc.) and other details with a medieval influence (scrolls, etc.), together with a composition (distribution of doors and central space) that was very common in this century.

Furniture set consisting of an office desk with armchair and high back, four high back chairs without arms and footrest, made of carved walnut wood.

This same influence can be seen in the carvings on the armchair, which also features animal protomes on the arms and studded leather upholstery. The chairs in this set, again, follow the same style, and have upholstery on the back and seat with gold studs. The footrest has a somewhat simpler decoration.

FIREPLACE PLAQUE, BULLFIGHTING, PICADOR. CAST IRON. SPAIN, EARLY 20TH ...

Fireplace plate with Picador. Cast iron. Spain, early 20th century. Cast iron fireplace backsplash with a rectangular shape and decorated with reliefs on the front. The upper part features a composition of leaves flanking a plain shield, and is extended along the sides and bottom by a series of lines and more leaves with a classicist influence in the corners. The front shows a figurative bullfighting scene, with a picador (or garrochista or varilarguero) spearing a bull, which charges the horse that the rider is riding. This type of piece was already used in the Gothic period, and outstanding examples have been preserved, such as the one on the Imperial coat of arms of Charles V (dated to the 16th century; Lázaro Galdiano Museum in Madrid), for example. Although some experts consider the heraldry to be the most unusual decoration on these objects, we have also seen pieces with mythological or pastoral scenes, architectural elements, religious motifs, etc. In addition to presenting an interesting decoration due to its historical value in the study of bullfighting, it is worth highlighting the quality and depth of the reliefs it displays.
