Capitals With Bases, Four Pieces. Bronze. Spanish School, 20th Century.

Capitals with bases, four pieces. Bronze. Spanish School, 20th century.
Origin: Caryatids Building (former Spanish Bank of the River Plate; headquarters of the Cervantes Institute), 49 Alcalá Street, Madrid (Spain).
Four capitals and their respective bases, made of bronze, clearly show a classicist influence in their moldings and lines, as well as in their decorative elements. However, in the arrangement of these motifs and other details, an evolution or departure from these classic 19th-century models (volutes, stepped elements, etc.) can be seen. They come from a building located at 49 Alcalá Street in Madrid (Spain), known as the Cariátides Building, which was built as the headquarters of the Banco Español del Río de la Plata by Antonio Palacios Ramilo and Joaquín Otamendi between 1911 and 1918. It was enlarged and renovated between 1944 and 1953 (architect Manuel Cabanyes), and has been the headquarters of the Instituto Cervantes since 2006.
