Sculpture in carved wood. Lion lying down. Italy, late 16th century
Sculpture in carved wood. Italy, late sixteenth century. It conserves light remains of polychromy. The lion, reclining on its four legs, shows a curious expression of sadness. This type of animals, for their symbolism, were very used in heraldic decorations, but it was also common for them to appear in elements associated with the greater political power of the territory, especially sarcophagi of monarchs for their association with royalty (as in the case of the sepulcher of Enrique II in the Chapel of the New Kings of Toledo, for example). · Size: 16x27x8 cm. Escultura en madera tallada. Italia, finales del siglo XVI. Conserva ligeros restos de policromía. El león, recostado sobre sus cuatro patas, muestra una curiosa expresión de tristeza. Este tipo de animales, por su simbología, eran muy empleados en decoraciones heráldicas, pero también era frecuente que aparecieran en elementos asociados con el mayor poder político del territorio, especialmente sarcófagos de monarcas por su asociación con la realeza (como en el caso del sepulcro de Enrique II en la Capilla de los Reyes Nuevos de Toledo, por ejemplo).

16th 17th Century Carved Wood Polychromed Italian Sculpture Michelangelos Pieta
For sale is a wonderful probably 16th or 17th century carved, polychromed, and partial gold gilt figure of Michelangelos La Pieta (The Pity) sculpture. This sculpture was carved by Michelangelo in 1498 to1499. Shortly there after many Italian artists painted, carved, and replicated this work of art. It made its way into numerous churches in the form of wood carvings. This piece is superb, it shows Jesus after The Crucifixion lying on the lap of his mother Mary. She gazes down at the body of her beloved son the Lord Jesus Christ with a look of sorrow and pity on her face. This is what gives the title to this iconic work of art by Michelangelo. The Pity (La Pieta). This carving retains some of its original polychromed surface as well as traces of original gold gilding which can be seen in one of the pictures surrounding Marys head. This piece came out of a private collection in the Hudson Valley of upstate New York. We do not know the origin of this piece other than it was in their family for as long as they could remember going back several generations. The carving is set upon a very old presentation board which is probably 18th or early 19th century in and of itself. It is most likely not original to the carving but it is included in the sale. Length – 12 1/8. Width – 7 1/2. Depth – 3 1/4. The Pieta (The Pity); (14981499) is a work of Renaissance sculpture by Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in St. Peters Basilica, Vatican City. It is the first of a number of works of the same theme by the artist. The statue was commissioned for the French Cardinal Jean de Bilhères, who was a representative in Rome. The sculpture, in Carrara marble, was made for the cardinal’s funeral monument, but was moved to its current location, the first chapel on the right as one enters the basilica, in the 18th century. It is the only piece Michelangelo ever signed. This famous work of art depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion. The theme is of Northern origin, popular by that time in France but not yet in Italy. [citation needed] Michelangelo’s interpretation of the Pietà is unprecedented in Italian sculpture. It is an important work as it balances the Renaissance ideals of classical beauty with naturalism.
