Circle of GIUSEPPE SANMARTINO (Naples, 1720-1793). Neapolitan school, ca. 1760. "Christ on the cross". Polychrome terracotta. It presents restoration in one of the fingers of the left hand and a hole in the back. Measurements: 42 x 30 x 15 cm. Sculpture of the Neapolitan Settecento, belonging to the circle of Giuseppe Sanmartino, which is appreciated in the extreme anatomical verism and in the plastic force that manages to transmit the recumbent body. We are before a crucified Christ with three nails, but with the lower extremities resting on a base. This allows the sculptor to work the turning of the muscles and knees in an unorthodox way, also detailing the ribs that are palpable under the skin, and the pulse that beats in the veins of the wrists. The extreme detail is characteristic of the Neapolitan school of the period, which achieved great virtuosity in anatomical reproductions, both in marble and in wood or ceramics, as in this case. The hair falls over the wiry, tilted face. The twitching fingers and open palms of the hands underline the drama. Stigmata and stigmata emphasize the pathos characteristic of Neapolitan imagery. Sanmartino had a long and fruitful career. Some of his creations are exhibited in the Museum of San Martino in Naples. He is considered one of the greatest artistic personalities of Italian sculpture of the eighteenth century for the sculpture Christ Veiled, made in marble in 1753 for the princely chapel of Santa Maria della Pietà, known as the Sansevero Chapel in Naples. Made from a single block of marble, it is considered a masterpiece of 18th century European sculpture and one of the greatest sculptural masterpieces of all time. The virtuosity of this work has generated the legend that the alchemist Raimondo di Sangro had taught the sculptor, the calcification of the fabrics in marble crystals. Among his admirers was Antonio Canova, who tried to acquire this work and who said he was willing to give ten years of his life "to be the author of this masterpiece".

ATRIBUIDO GIUSEPPE SANMARTINO (1720 – 1793)
Est: €55,000 - €60,000
Atribuido Giuseppe Sanmartino (1720 – 1793) 'San Genaro, patrón de Nápoles' Importante figura en plata repujada y cincelada en su color y dorada, bronce dorado y pedrería. 63 x 34 x 27 cm. Se conserva en Nápoles, en la capilla del tesoro de San Genaro, una colección de esculturas en plata de importantísima calidad, atribuidas a Giuseppe Sanmartino, a Lorenzo Vaccaro, Filippo Del Giudice o Giovan Domenico Vinaccia entre otros, que representan lo mejor de la orfebrería napolitana barroca. Nuestra figura es indudablemente de mano de Sanmartino, pues presenta unos estilemas artísticos iguales al Santo Domingo del mismo autor realizado durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, y que se conserva en la Capilla Real del Tesoro de San Gennaro, de la Catedral de Nápoles y aparece descrito y reproducido en el catálogo del Museo del Tesoro di San Gennaro gli Argenti (2003), pág. 44. San Genaro, obispo de Benevento en época romana, mártir en el año 305, patrón de Nápoles. El santo porta las vestiduras episcopales ricamente labradas que abrochan en el centro con un cierre en pedrería y se abren mostrando en la parte inferior una cartela en la que en bajo relieve está labrada la escena de su martirio siendo decapitado. Representado aquí en busto sobre una importante peana labrada en bronce dorado, presenta en el centro de la misma, rodeadas por una corona de laurel, dos pequeñas ampollas labradas en plata, distintivo personal del santo. Hoy en dia aún se conserva su sangre coagulada que se licúa (lo que se considera un prodigio) todos los años el sábado anterior al primer domingo de mayo, el 19 de septiembre, fiesta del santo, en todos los días de las octavas de ambas fechas y en otras ocasiones espaciales.

Est: €65,000 - €75,000
FIGURENGRUPPE SANKT SEBASTIAN UND DIE HEILIGE IRENE Gesamthöhe: 38 cm. Länge: 37 cm. Tiefe: 29 cm. Gefertigt in Silberguss und vergoldeter Bronze, unter Verwendung einer großen schwarzen Koralle; auf ebonisiertem, kehlig eingezogenem Holzsockel über vergoldeten Spindelfüßen, mit barocken Silberapplikationen. Der Sockelaufbau sechsseitig, in den Kehlen Muschel-, Blatt- und Blütenmotive in Treibarbeit. Die ebenfalls sechsseitige Rasenplinthe mit leichter Erhöhung zeigt Gräser und Blattwerk sowie die am Boden liegende Rüstung und den Helm des Heiligen Sebastian, eines seiner Attribute als ehemaliger Soldat. Von der Plinthenerhebung zieht die einem Baumstamm ähnliche Koralle hoch, an der die Gestalt des Heiligen angebunden gezeigt ist. Der rechte Arm hochgebunden, der linke hängt über dem seitlichen Ast. Die Figur in Silber gegossen, das reich drapierte Lendentuch in Bronze, vergoldet und punziert. Ebenso vergoldet der Nimbus und die sechs Pfeile in seinem Körper. Das leidend wiedergegebene Gesicht nach oben gerichtet, Augen und Mund leicht geöffnet. Links daneben die stehende Figur der Heiligen Irene von Rom (geb. um 288), die der Legende entsprechend den Heiligen nach der Verwundung gepflegt hatte, bevor er an einem folgenden Martyrium starb. Die Heilige ist in langen Mantel gehüllt, der Oberkörper leicht gebeugt, die rechte Hand soeben dabei, nach einem der Pfeile zu greifen. Kopf und Hände wohl ebenso in Silber gegossen, das Kleid vergoldet. Was die Autorschaft des höchst qualitätvollen Werkes betrifft, so wird eine in Wachs gefertigte Arbeit des Giovanni Bernardino Azzolino genannt (1572-1645). Zutreffender allerdings ist der Verweis auf den Bildhauer Giuseppe Sanmartino (1720-1793), vor allem im Vergleich mit dessen Pietá-Plastiken. Sanmartino war Schüler des Matteo Bottiglieri (1680-1757) und arbeitete unter Francesco Queirolo (1704-1762) sowie Antonio Corradini (um 1680-1752). Daneben schuf er bedeutende Krippenfiguren, wie sie etwa im Museum der Certosa di San Martino in Neapel zu finden sind. Insgesamt handelt es sich bei der Figurengruppe um ein bedeutendes Werk der Neapolitanischen Bildkunst. A.R. Literatur: Ricerche sull‘arte a Napoli in etá moderna, S. 93, Abb. 2.
