TRIPTYCH OF THE "VIRGIN OF THE PEAR" - Fray Juan Sánchez Cotán (Orgaz, Toledo, 1560-Granada, 1627) - Grenada Mannerist School of the late 16th century
Templum is pleased to present for the first time to the national and international art auctions market this true gem in the form of a miniature portable triptych exquisitely painted in oil on copper and richly decorated on its exterior in linear bone and ebony inlay; which in itself represents a true artistic milestone given its outstanding quality and small size, where the artistic canons of late Mannerism and the transition to the Granada Baroque merge and intertwine perfectly. Painted in oil on copper, with three leaves, in the center, an exquisite Virgin of La Pera with a maternal and loving gesture holding the Child Jesus in her lap, for which the words written here fall short, very short at the time. to describe the sublime, delicate and refined line used by Master Fray Juan Sánchez Cotán (Orgaz, Toledo, 1560-Granada, 1627). On the left page the viewer can see a magnificent Christ the Man of Sorrows tied to the column, and, finally, on the right page, a more than outstanding Magdalena Penitente, also a work by the same author, bathed in tears, who observes sadly. to a smiling and smiling Child God, with a happy look, being wrapped up by his Heavenly Mother, without yet knowing his final destination of the Cross as Redeemer of Humanity.
