Romanesque capital of southern Spain from an ancient private spanish collection.Biblical scenes: Virgin with Child, kings making offering, Saint Joseph and the Virgin, scene of death with trumpet of the Final Judgment.Size: 67 x 53 mmLate Romanesque art that sometimes as transition to Gothic, although rather we should relate it to the peculiar and advanced Romanesque of the Cistercians.The forms adopted by Romanesque are based on an idea of art developed by and for human intelligence, not for their senses. It does not pretend, like other previous and later styles, to faithfully copy the surrounding nature, but to conceptualize beauty in an abstract and rational way. Use of Euclidean geometry, that is, the simplest geometric figures. It is a "square and compass" architecture where squares, circles, cubes and cylinders are arranged with a strict sense of order and symmetry. The beauty and harmony that they transmit is not, therefore, the accidental result of the artist who intuitively develops beautiful forms, but a calculated fact. In the field of sculpture they use the "Law of the Frame" and the "Law of the Geometric Scheme" enunciated by Focillon.Tracked & insured shipment.
