Baroque Panel In Carved Oak, Allegory Of Faith, Flanders Or Germany, Late 17th Century

This is a breathtaking example of the drama and technical virtuosity of the High Baroque style. Unlike a simple biblical scene, this sophisticated panel depicts a complex theological idea—an Allegory of Christian Faith. The female figure, with her cross and chalice, is carved with an energy and emotion that is truly captivating. The sculptor, a master from one of the great workshops of Flanders or Southern Germany, has made the heavy oak robes appear to billow and swirl with life. This is a rare and intellectual work, preserved in extraordinary condition, perfect for a collection of distinction.
