Spanish school; XV century. "Angels". Marble. Presents faults and restorations. Measurements: 35 x 97 x 10 cm. Gothic carving made in marble representing a procession of angels, all of them arranged as a frieze. Both the material and the dimensions indicate that originally this piece was part of a larger ornamentation, probably an architectural site dedicated to devotion, so iconographically it was probably part of a sculptural cycle. The piece that stands out for its quality presents us with five angels, two of them, located on each side, in profile before the spectator while the others have been carved with a strict frontality. The piece stands out for its symmetry and hieratism, typical of the aesthetics of the period. In any case, the naturalistic and expressive style of the carving allows us to attribute it to the Castilian school of the 15th century, a time when the influences of the last international Gothic and the new Flemish realism penetrated with force in the Hispanic territory, leading art towards a new aesthetic where expression and naturalism, the imitation of physical reality, are increasingly important values. During the 15th century, the realistic style of the Netherlands had a great influence abroad, especially in Spain, but in the 16th century the panorama was reversed. The Italian Renaissance spread throughout Europe, and Antwerp became the center of the Flemish school, displacing Bruges and functioning as a center of penetration of Italian influences. In this way, Mannerist influences arrived in the Netherlands and Spain, superimposed on the style of the 15th century. It presents faults and restorations.
