Description
Door for tabernacle. Spanish School, 16th century. Resurrection of Christ. Carved and polychrome wood. Measurements: 42 x 36 cm. Door for an altar tabernacle made of carved and polychromed wood, which still conserves part of the metal fittings. On the front of the relief, there is a usual decoration in this type of liturgical elements: the representation of the Risen Christ with the gesture of blessing with his right hand, while with his left hand he holds a cross with a phylactery. He rests his feet on the tomb, whose tombstone the miracle has raised, while the two Roman guards remain asleep. The heavenly world is represented in the upper part, with two angels whose trumpet blasts celebrate the event. The architectural structure, based on fluted pilasters supporting a semicircular arch, orders the composition.
