- Lot Description
Latin America, Mexico, ca. 19th century CE. Finely painted on canvas with a jewel-tone palette and golden highlights, this retablo features a bearded Santiago Matamoros, also known as Saint James The Greater or Santiago the Moor Slayer, riding his white horse, donning red and green vestments with gold floral motifs, and a pilgrim hat. The Moor Slayer triumphantly raises his bloody sword as his white horse is trampling over three slain Moors below, the victims much smaller in scale than Santiago, wearing blue vestments decorated with gold floral motifs, and still holding their shields and arrows. Birds fly in the cloud-filled blue skies above, and red-roofed church buildings atop hillsides occupy the distance. A striking painting, set in a gilt frame under glass. Size: 10" L x 8" W (25.4 cm x 20.3 cm); 12.625" L x 10.75" W (32.1 cm x 27.3 cm) in frame
This figure is based on a prototype found in European paintings of Santiago Matamoros - triumphant upon a white horse, dressed in lavish vestments, wielding an intimidating sword and trampling over many severed heads of Moors. Similar iconography also constitutes the central section of a 7 panel altarpiece in the Chapel of the Alcazar of Segovia. Santiago Matamoros was one of Christ's disciples who is believed to have founded the Christian church in Spain. In addition, a myth of the Middle Ages describes how years after his death, Santiago Matamoros miraculously resurfaced in the battle of Clavijo in 844. During this battle he assisted the Christian King Ramiro I of Asturias in his victory over the Moors who ruled Spain between 711 and 1492.
