Pair of carved wooden wall carvings, “Religious Scenes,” 17th century era

Beautiful pair of wooden wall carvings from the 17th century, made of finely carved stone pine wood. They belong to the Alpine or Central European baroque tradition.

Detailed description:
Age: 17th century (c. 1600), Baroque

Material: Swiss stone pine

Measurements: H 65 x W 29 / H 65 x W 31 cm.

Technique: Deep and dynamic carving, with special attention to the movement of clothing and hair, typical of the Baroque style.

The figures look like angels or saints in a devotional attitude.
Both sculptures emerge from carved clouds, and in one there is also a small putto with wings, a recurring iconographic detail.
The faces are expressive, with flowing hair and eventful clothing.

Possibility of hanging: Yes, given the flat surfaces on the back and the compact structure, they can be mounted on the wall as decorative elements or part of an exhibition context.
