Item Details
Description
A dramatic carved and painted pine sculpture of a standing angel with arm outstretched and holding a trumpet, paint over gesso and mounted on its original faux marble pine base. The head and musculature are well carved and the outstretched wings are sculpted with layered feathers. With one leg raised, an iron rod provides necessary support. The trumpet is in tin with an overpaint over the original surface and the octagonal base has a gadrooned edge with acanthus leaf carvings below. Traces of the original gold stars and the original cream paint are partially visible, however, the sculpture has been restored and re-painted in the mid-20th century. Some wing repair and tin crudely wrapped around one ankle. Three fingers and one thumb are also restored but not painted, so likely done after the initial restoration. This type of sculpture was often placed as one of a pair overlooking the altar; most examples today are found in Museum collections. Quebec, last quarter 19th century. H: 76"; W/L: 38"; D/P: 35". FRANCAIS: Sculpture dramatique en pin d'un ange debout avec le bras tendu tenant une trompette en tôle, peint sur du gesso, monté sur sa base d’origine en pin et peinte faux marbre. La tête et la musculature sont bien sculptées, les ailes déployées sont sculptées de plumes superposées. La jambe derrière levée ou une tige de fer fournit le soutien nécessaire. Cordon sculpté à la base octogonale et feuilles d'acanthe en dessous. Les étoiles dorées et de la peinture crème d'origine sont partiellement visibles sous la peinture actuelle, cependant, la sculpture a été restaurée et repeinte au milieu du 20e siècle. Quelques réparations aux ailes et un morceau de tôle enroulé autour d'une cheville. Trois doigts et un pouce sont restaurés mais non peints, probablement effectués après la restauration initiale. Type de sculpture souvent placé en paire et dominant l'autel d’une église ; la plupart des exemples se trouvent aujourd'hui dans les collections muséales. Québec, dernier quart du 19e siècle.
