Beschreibung
Indo-Portuguese School. Goa. 18th century.
“The Emperor Charles I of Spain and V of the Holy Roman Empire”.
Figure in sculpted ivory with traces of polychrome.
12 x 5,5 x 6,2 cm.
A CITES certificate is attached, dated 15/04/2024.
Curious and beautiful, carved and polychrome Indo-Portuguese ivory piece sculpture which is incomplete. It was possibly part of a larger one with a horse, on which this rider on a saddle would have been placed.
Determining who it is has been a task of further comparative study and meticulous observation through a magnifying glass. There are two determining features leading to its identification: the insignia or decoration on the chest - he is a member of the Royal Order of Chivalry of the Golden Fleece; and the physiognomic features of the face, the drooping of her eyelids which is very Habsburg, the lower jaw covered with a beard to make up for this prominence and, above all, the aquiline nose - the most important characteristic-, a nominative feature of the Emperor (his son, Philip II, had a very straight nose, as we see in his portraits), as we see in his portraits by Sofonisba Anguissola) and with which he was always described in the historical chronicles of the time, those written by Alonso de Santa Cruz, a Spanish historian of the Renaissance who in 1539 lived at the court of Charles V in Toledo and where he began his book “Astronómico Real”, in which he describes him in detail.
Local artists like the one that carved this sculpture were masterful in their execution, “ad pedem litterae”, so as not to lose the essence and characteristics contemplated in the model, engraving, print or painting of the period from which they copied or were inspired.
We see the Emperor seated in a riding saddle, an equestrian Charles V like that of Titian at the Battle of Mühlberg. Dressed in a coat, carved with extreme finesse and full of details: face, beard, crown, high riding boots and stirrups, collar insignia, embroidery, piping and buttons, and the tones of the polychrome that highlight the shapes and details on the cream tone of the ivory, the brown and semi-ochre tones, the grays and blacks and the vermilion of the saddle or on the velvet of the inner capelet of his crown.
This piece was made using local materials and techniques, since the material used for the execution of this piece was one widely used in the colonies of Spain and Portugal between the 15th and 19th centuries, a luxury good adapted to European taste and created in the existing workshops in the colonies.
Today, Indo-Portuguese ivories are prized possessions in museums and private collections around the world due to their fusion of cultural influences, expert craftsmanship and historical context. These fine objects not only tell the story of artistic exchange during the colonial period, but also bear witness to the origins of the globalized trade networks that shape our world today. They unite cultures and continents, offering a glimpse into the artistry and cultural influences of the colonial era.
In short, this is an exquisite and very collectable object d'art, an Indo-Portuguese treasure, a testament to an era of exploration, artistic fusion and global trade.
