Item Overview

Description

Atribuido a Manuel Chili "Caspicara" (Quito, c.1720-1796) Cristo crucificado. Talla en madera de cedro policromada. Ojos de vidrio y lágrimas de resina. Magnífica calidad de la anatomía, la policromía de las carnaciones así como el dramatismo que desprende, rasgos típicos de la escuela Quiteña de la que Caspicara está considerado uno de sus máximos exponentes. Destaca la representación realista, no sólo de las llagas y heridas, sino del dolor en el rostro de Jesús. Muestra un gran virtuosismo y refinamiento en el tratamiento de la cara y las espinas clavándose en la propia carne. Obra de gran realismo y profundo sentimiento. Observamos similitudes con otras obras de Caspicara como el Cristo del altar de la iglesia de El Belén y el Cristo yacente del Museo Nacional de Ecuador. Escultor ecuatoriano perteneciente a la escuela quiteña de arte de siglo XVIII, de la cuál fue uno de sus más importantes representantes. Entre sus principales maestros se encuentran Diego de Robles y Bernardo de Legarda, con quienes trabajó en sus respectivos talleres durante su juventud. Cultivó los motivos religiosos tanto en madera como en mármol, siendo de particular atención sus Cristos, Vírgenes y retablos. En particular son sus representaciones de Cristos como nuestra obra, las que extendieron su fama por el imperio. Sus principales obras se conservan en la Catedral y en la iglesia de San Francisco de Quito y en Popayán, Colombia. Bibliografía de referencia. "La escultura en el Ecuador. Siglos XVI al XVIII", por José Gabriel Navarro. Pág.: 171. Editorial Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. Madrid, 1929. Medidas Cristo: 47 x 37 cm. Medida todal: 93,5 x 62 x 24 cm.
