MERRY CHRISTMAS. The Nativity. Church of Santa Catalina



Well just wanted to congratulate you all, how not being a blog of art with a great jewel, a Merry Christmas, I hope and pray that the light of the world will be born, let all the brilliance of their love for each of your hearts, to ponder these days which is the true meaning Christmas, and to discover we put it into practice every single day of our lives.

How not to keep the tone of my blog way to give some data of this great work, this is the polychrome wood relief carving in 1613, by the God of the Wood-Juan Martínez Montañçes-for the high altar of the Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo, the town of Sevilla Santiponce.

It can see that it is a work of maturity, where in spite of the Baroque style that dominates the work, we can see Renaissance airs on the faces of the images full of beauty and sweetness, the quality of execution carvings, the pliegeus of clothing and technical quality carving in relief, playing with lolúmenes and proportions to give the work depth or closeness.

As a curiosity that there is another table in the altarpiece, The Adoration of the Kings also Martinez Montanes, with the same quality and same technique work.
