Bishop's Figure. Painted Wood And Metal Leaf. Probably 17th Century
The figure depicts a high-ranking ecclesiastical figure, identifiable by the miter he wears on his head, an attribute peculiar to bishops or saints linked to the Church hierarchy.
The metal cladding, worked in molded sheets, fulfills not only an aesthetic function, but also a symbolic one, evoking wealth, sacredness and divine light. The plates seem to adapt to the folds of the garment, suggesting an interest in texture and volume. Similarly, the contrast between the dark wooden face and the gold of the garment accentuates the expressiveness of the figure.
