Pair Of Medallions, A Man And A Woman In The Flames Of Purgatory.
A rare pair of medallions, late 17th or early 18th century, carved in wood. A man and a woman are depicted in the flames of hell (or purgatory?). Above the medallions, a cloud emanates divine rays. The two nude figures emerge from the flames; the woman prays, the man raises his arms to heaven. The borders are formed of foliate scrolls. The backgrounds are decorated with stippling. Hardwood
