1035 - Saint Joan of Arc - French Renaissance carving from the late 16th century

Saint Joan of Arc - French Renaissance carving from the late 16th century Carved wood. Dimensions: 80 x 31 x 16 cm. Standing male sculpture of a warrior saint, wearing carved armor and holding a sword across his chest. The carving, with its smooth and austere surface, reflects the Castilian tradition of the early Baroque period, combining devotional solemnity with serene gestures. The formal austerity suggests a monastic origin, intended for worship or moral instruction. The wood retains its original patina and slight traces of polychromy in the raised areas.
