Important polychrome sculpture, 17th century, Italy

Important 17th-century Italian School carved and polychrome wooden juvenile Saint George.
​Carved in the round, this 90 cm high work stands out for the rigor of its volumes and the dynamism of its Baroque drapery. What catches the eye is the natural wear of its pictorial layer: a vibrant patina where the bare wood shows through, lending the sculpture a silent and deeply tactile beauty.
​A true collector's item, rooted in the strength of the High Renaissance.
