Sculpture of the Virgin of Granada in carved and polychrome wood

Descriptio Carved and polychromed wood. Dimensions: 61 x 51 x 38 cm. This Virgin of Sorrows, executed with extraordinary delicacy in its features and with vividly contrasting polychromy, displays the expressive intensity characteristic of the Granada Baroque. The half-open mouth, the raised eyes, and the hands clasped in a supplicating gesture convey a profound religious drama. The golden embossing and the intense blue of the mantle accentuate the ornamental richness and spirituality of the image. The attribution to the workshop of José de Mora reflects the stylistic proximity in the treatment of the face and the ability to move the faithful through its restrained theatricality. This is a highly significant piece of Spanish Baroque sculpture, representative of the 17th century. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
