Grille. Wrought Iron. Spain, 17th Century.

Grille. Wrought iron. Spain, 17th century.
Wrought iron window grille with two smooth circular sections in the center, inserted between vertical bars. Between the two sections, a decoration of small discs and balustrade shapes (which add slight movement) faces the compositions to create harmony. The decorative details mentioned refer to 17th-century Baroque works made of this material: compare, for example, with the balconies of the Casa de Panadería in the Plaza Mayor of Madrid, or with Spanish pieces preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, a confessional grille from the Metropolitan Museum in New York dated 1629 (inv. 57.137.51) and another from the same museum made by the master Francisco González (inv. 56-234.12Ad). -
