Saint Anthony with the Child Jesus, Wood, Mechelen School, 16th Century

About the Item

Saint Anthony with the Child Jesus. Wood. Mechelen School, 16th century. Sculpture in carved wood worked, as was usual in that center, on the front because it was designed to be placed on an altar, which represents Saint Anthony of Padua with the Child Jesus sitting on a book, in one of the most common iconographies for this Franciscan saint. The relationship with the Mechelen school is noted in the physiognomy of the figures, the remains of the polychromy, etc. The "poupées malinoises" or "Malines dolls" are small sculptures of saints made in the last years of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th in the workshops of Mechelen (Flanders) and were known by these names due to the resemblance of their faces with that of the dolls or peponas ("poupins"); They were also sometimes called "chop sculptures" because they were finished only in their front part, being flat at the back, depending on the depth of the bottom of the niche where they were to be placed. They were executed for small domestic altarpieces -normally they contained three statuettes or "dolls"-, rectangular in the shape of the box and with painted wings or doors. The best known example is perhaps the altarpiece preserved in the Mayer van den Bergh Museum in Antwerp.

Saint on a bed. Polychromed wood. Flemish school, 16th century.

Located in Madrid, ES

Dream of a saint. Carved and polychrome wood. Flemish school, 16th century. Relief made of carved and polychrome wood that shows an old man with a particular headdress (reminiscent of some chaperones) lying on a bed and accompanied by two friars dressed in habits, who talk to each other. Iconographically, the figure of the old man lying on the bed (note the cushion that raises the upper part of the body, following the common use of the time) who has not died (probably) because he was not completely lying down, is reminiscent of how he was usually represented, for example, to San Antón, San Jerónimo, etc. It is not very likely that it is the subject of the Transit or Death of Saint Francis of Assisi due to the absence of the Stigmata and due to age. It would be part of a cycle of scenes in the altarpiece of a church, an accompaniment that would give the viewer more clues about the identity of those represented. Stylistically, Flemish sculpture...

16th C Mechelen Doll-letter M carved in the back.Some leftovers of polychromy

Located in Leuven , BE

Mechelen dolls are rare wooden devotional figurines (mainly walnut was used), which were made by some members of the Guild of Saint Luke. The figures, all individual saints, were made from reference models using highly regulated carving and polychrome techniques. They had to meet several requirements. The shape of the rug had to meet certain criteria and the letter M (from Mechelen) had to be visible in the shape. These devotional or saint figurines...
