120 - Window capital; Spain, 18th century.

Window capital; Spain, 18th century. Carved marble. Partially broken. Measurements: 10 x 15 x 16 cm Provenance: Estate of Ramon Martí Alsina and Ricard Martí Aguiló. Artistic and heritage collection originating in the legacy of Catalan painters Ramon Martí Alsina (1826–1894), a seminal figure of 19th-century Catalan Realism, and his son Ricard Martí Aguiló (1857–1935). Passed down and enriched across successive generations, the collection brings together works from the original holdings of both artists alongside acquisitions made by their descendants. Dedicated to preserving and recovering the family legacy, the descendants actively reacquired works by the painters as they entered the market, progressively expanding the collection to encompass paintings, sculptures, archaeological artifacts, and other items of artistic and historical significance. Window capital carved entirely from alabaster in the Ionic order, adorned with volutes on all four sides, resting on a truncated pyramidal base decorated with acanthus leaves derived from classical models and carved in relief, and featuring an upper section shaped like a slender cornice.
