BID HISTORY
DESCRIPTION
Hispano-Philippine school; XVII century.
"Christ".
Carved and polychrome wood.
Presents faults.
They have a label.
Measurements: 24 x 4 x 4 cm; 30 x 5 x 5 x 5 cm.
Set of two wood carvings representing the figure of Christ. Both have visible faults, although the disposition indicates that they were probably part of a crucifixion.
The sangleyes or Chinese of the Philippines, urged by the demand of Christian religious works, attended the Spanish orders having as models sculptures, prints or engravings sent from the metropolis, but without forgetting the features of the oriental anatomy. For this reason, the eyes are slanted, with bulging eyelids made with a double flange, configuring a face with protruding cheekbones that departs from the classical ideal of contemporary Europe. The anatomy, on the other hand, shows a clear classical base combined with the baroque naturalism typical of this type of pieces since the 17th century, but nevertheless denotes an introspective and hieratic sense that we do not find in European pieces. In fact, all these different characteristics, typical of its oriental origin, were highly appreciated in the metropolis.
