Descrizione

Baroque altarpiece column; late seventeenth century. Carved and gilded wood. Measurements: 137 x 18 x 24 cm. Column with capital with acanthus leaves, architectures and angels. It presents a warped shaft identifying itself as a Solomonic column with a carved decoration, highlighted in gilding. This type of columns were common in Spanish Baroque altarpieces from around the last third of the 17th century and, although their design was already known both in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, they only became common elements in the Baroque from the realization of the bronze baldachin of the Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican in Rome by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, between 1623 and 1634. From this moment on, and with numerous decorative variations, the Solomonic column became a characteristic element of architecture and other Baroque arts, appearing in paintings, sculpture, etc. The most common was to decorate them with bunches of grapes and vine leaves, in clear allusion to the Body and Blood of Christ, key elements in the Salvation of Humanity, although, already more towards the 18th century, there will be other examples that add leaves and roses or flowers, responding, surely, to a greater relationship with elements of Rococo or to an association with a feminine environment.
