Sculpture Gilded Wood Italy XVI-XVII Century
The figure of the innkeeper, is carved in the round and painted in polychrome, inserted in a portal carved vine shoots with vine leaves, golden gouache of a later period. The sculpture represents a host in the act of carrying a basket of fruit. The sculpture is well defined with a twist and expressiveness in the face. Shows an influence nordic; it is completely painted in polychrome, is clothed with the purple edges and belt, gold and green basket with branches of black grapes. The portal, which probably added to the end of the XVII century., it is made with vines that twine, creating a time of acute, starting from the two great heads of the baroque and ending in a face of the winged cherub. This part, probably born to a religious subject, is completely golden.
