Lot information
This set of baroque sculptures dates from the 18th century and depicts two iconic biblical couples - Saint Joseph with baby Jesus and Zacharias with baby John the Baptist. The use of gilding is significant here, which not only gives the statues a festive appearance, but also underlines the spiritual nobility of both figurative groups. The sculptures are characterized by dynamic movement, which is characteristic of the Baroque style. The draperies of the cloaks are rendered with careful emphasis on rich folds, giving the figures plastic depth. This ensemble represents a masterpiece of Baroque carving that combines religious symbolism with aesthetic value in one harmonious whole.
