Spanish school; XVIII century. "Saint Teresa and Saint John of the Cross". Carved and polychrome wood. Vitreous paste eyes. They present faults, losses and damages caused by xylophages. Measurements: 69 x 83 x 43 cm. Sculpture of round bulk in which the mystics Saint Teresa and Saint John are represented. The two protagonists are seated on a base that follows the baroque models, although it is a sculpture of later period. The piece presents us with the two saints, oblivious to the viewer's gaze, with their gaze downward in a reflective attitude. It is worth noting the carving of St. Teresa with her hand on her chest and her mantle backwards, generating a great volume. St. John of the Cross (1542-1591) was a mystic and religious poet, whose experiences are inscribed in the close circle of St. Teresa of the Cross. Together with the saint, he founded the order of the Discalced Carmelites. In his early days he worked as a teacher at the novitiate college of Mancera, and later founded the college of Alcalá de Henares, a prominent place due to the university founded by Cisneros, where theology studies were taught. He later became the confessor of the monastery of Santa Teresa. In 1577 he was imprisoned because of his confrontation with the order of the Carmelitas Calzadas, however, he managed to escape from prison and move to Andalusia where he lived the rest of his days. They present faults, losses and damages caused by xylophagous.
