Sculpture Gilded Wood Italy XVI-XVII Century

Lombardo-Veneto

Sculpture in linden wood, painted in polychrome and depicting Saint Paschal Baylon (1540-1592) in adoration of the Eucharist, which he holds in his left hand in a monstrance now without the sunburst case. Recognizable, as well as for the typical attitude of his iconography, also for the Franciscan habit and beardless face. The proclamation to Blessed in 1618 constitutes a post quem term for the realization of the sculpture, confirmation also given by the stylistic code of the carving, in particular by the thick locks of hair, the fleshy mouth and the heavy eyelids, characteristics of the sculpture of the first half of the Six hundred.
