The Saviour altarpierce from the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville
Journal Title: UcoArte. Revista de Teoría e Historia del Arte - Year 2021, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
The altarpiece of the Saviour is one of the works preserved in the Fine Arts Museum of Seville, coming from the Spanish confiscation of assets carried out by Mendizábal. Oil-painted on panel, it shows eight different scenes. The central one shows the risen Christ, redeemed from hell and delivered to his Mother, which inspires the title of the altarpiece. This scene of Jesus, after descent into Abraham's Bosom, which dates towards the middle of the sixteenth century, is inspired by a work from the old Parcent collection. Chandler Rathfon Post in his A History of Spanish Painting relates it to a Saint Telmo that is also found in the Sevillian Museum.
