" Pietà, Devotional Plaque. Bronze. Spanish School, 17th Century, After The Model By Gugliel"

Pietà, devotional plaque. Bronze. Spanish school, 17th century, after the model by Guglielmo DELLA PORTA.
Bronze devotional plaque, oval in shape, with a ring at the top and a molded frame with an inner line of stripes surrounding a figurative religious scene. This one depicts Mary holding the body of Christ after his death (Pietà), after a model attributed to Guglielmo della Porta (1515-1577). Compare with the gilt bronze relief in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, attributed to Jacob Cornelis Cobaert, who was himself inspired by a model linked to Guglielmo della Porta and which is believed to have been executed in Rome around 1569. This type of devotional plaque was very common in the Spanish school.
