Elements of an altarpiece; c. 1613.

It has an inscription.
It has faults in the carving and gilding.
Measurements: 194 x 200 x 50 cm.
Lot made up of various elements that originally formed part of an altarpiece. The piece conserves the columns, the entablature, the frieze and the cornice in such a way that its total appearance refers to classical models as far as the architectural conception is concerned. The columns, which stand on square bases, have been designed with a larger diameter in the lower area than the upper one, thus visually lightening the volume of the work. As for the ornamental design, the columns alternate in colour with contrasting chromatic details on each of the strips. The upper part, which has the central area in front, is decorated with interlacing vegetal elements dominated by greens and reds that create a great dynamism on the gilding of the base. Finally, the piece is crowned with an overhanging upper cornice.
