Neapolitan School or Circle of FRANCISCO SALZILLO (Murcia, 1707 - 1783), XVIII century. "Saint Joachim" or "Neapolitan Manger Character". Polychrome wood carving. Measurements: 55 x 40 x 33 cm. The character represented here, with long beard and Renaissance attire, stands out for the virtuous naturalism printed in the clothing and in the pious expression of the countenance. The histrionics or theatrical gesticulation is another element to highlight. Both attributes (naturalism and gestural dramatization) were characteristic of the work of Francisco Salzillo, one of the most outstanding figures of the Murcian school of the 18th century. Likewise, a possible Neapolitan origin of this piece should not be underestimated, since extreme naturalism was also more than frequent. Given that the Neapolitan school is part of the tradition of nativity scenes, the carvings of the Baroque and late Baroque period have a strong scenographic and dramatic component. We can appreciate in this carving the quality of the stew, the chromatic and textured plasticity of the drapery of the cape and the blouse knotted with a cloth at the waist, the naturalistic folds around the knees and calves.... The character, with her mouth ajar, seems to be addressing God in gratitude for something. In the case of a Neapolitan nativity scene figure, it could be part of the retinue of the Magi. It could also identify Saint Joachim, father of the Virgin. It is worth remembering that Salzillo was influenced by the Italian influence, being the son of the Italian sculptor Nicolás Salzillo. The Murcian school of sculpture was born in the eighteenth century, driven by the economic growth of the region, around the figure of Francisco Salzillo, collecting Mediterranean influences and especially Italian through the art of the Nativity Scene, which is introduced and developed in Spain in this century. Through the Murcian school, the novelties of the European Rococo were introduced in Spain, which were incorporated by Murcian masters such as Salzillo to the popular feeling typical of Spanish imagery.
