- Lot Description
Spanish Colonial, Mexico or Peru, ca. 1750. A pair of hand-carved polychromed wooden cherubic figures that very much reflect the European stylings of the Baroque to Rococo periods with their sensuous fleshy forms, dance-like poses, and dramatic gestures - as if they are angels emerging from a Peter Paul Rubens masterpiece. Both angels wear flowing sashes - one red and the other blue - over their shoulders and privates; these drapery sashes swirl around the angels' bodies in dramatic fashion as their wings flutter. Two beautifully carved, hand-gessoed, and polychromed Spanish Colonial cherubs that bring to mind the holiday classic, "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!" - a Christmas carol inspired by lyrics that initially appeared in"Hymn for Christmas-Day" by Charles Wesley, which was included in the 1739 John Wesley collection Hymns and Sacred Poems. Size (w/ blue sash): 20" W x 24" H (50.8 cm x 61 cm); (w/ red sash): 19" W x 24" H (48.3 cm x 61 cm)
Provenance: ex-House of Ancestors, Galisteo, New Mexico, USA
