Escultura policromada atribuida a Aleijadinho
Artista: Antônio Francisco Lisboa "Aleijadinho"
Siglo XVIII · Brasil
Colección: Antônio Francisco Lisboa "Aleijadinho"
This 18th-century polychrome wooden sculpture, attributed to Antônio Francisco Lisboa 'Aleijadinho', depicts a male figure, likely a saint or apostle, with a beard and intense expression. The work is a distinctive example of Minas Gerais Baroque-Rococo, characterized by the dynamism of its drapery, dramatic forms, and a worn polychromy that reveals reddish and ocher tones. Aleijadinho demonstrates his mastery in creating a figure full of movement and profound emotion. The piece, with its simple octagonal base, embodies the religious and artistic aesthetic of the era in Brazil.
