Spanish-Filipino school; late 18th century. "Crucifixion". Carved ivory and ebony and tortoiseshell cross. Attached Cites and certificate of the Association of Antique Dealers. Measurements: 17 x 15 x 4 cm; 73 x 24 x 14 x 14 cm (cross). The realization of the figure of Christ in ivory has a long tradition in the history of art. On the one hand, it is a noble material, of beautiful appearance, with a light tone very appropriate for imitating flesh tones. On the other hand, its color and texture make it similar to marble, a material that, due to its weight and properties, cannot be used for the figure of the crucified, which must be nailed to a cross. This piece was made entirely from a single piece of ivory, with the exception of the arms, which, due to the limitations of the shape of the elephant's tusk, were worked separately and then assembled. Through the maritime commercial routes, the appreciated oriental products arrived in Spain, which satisfied the great demand for luxurious and exotic objects. Ivory, a material of luxury and high esteem, meant prestige, economic and social power for its owner, and religious imagery made of this material was especially appreciated, designed for private devotion and often donated by the powerful to religious centers as a token of faith. This Hispano-Filipino Christ reveals a set of artistic influences that fills it with content. It is a work of art made under the Spanish influence, filtered through America, and carved in the Philippines by both local and Chinese artists settled in the archipelago. The Sangleyes or Chinese of the Philippines, urged by the demand for Christian religious works, attended the Spanish orders having as models sculptures, prints or engravings sent from the metropolis, but without forgetting the features of the oriental anatomy. For this reason, the eyes are slanted, with bulging eyelids made with a double flange, configuring a face with protruding cheekbones that departs from the classical ideal of contemporary Europe. The anatomy, on the other hand, shows a clear classical base combined with the baroque naturalism typical of this type of pieces since the 17th century, but nevertheless denotes an introspective and hieratic sense that we do not find in European pieces. In fact, all these different characteristics, typical of its oriental origin, were highly appreciated in the metropolis. Attached Cites and certificate of the Antique Dealers Association.
