Sculpter la couleur. Chefs-d’œuvre du Musée national de sculpture, Valladolid

Gregorio Fernández, Alonso Cano, Pedro de Mena, Luisa Roldán and others

Painted wooden religious sculpture from seventeenth-century Spain, lent by Valladolid’s national sculpture museum and shown beside the Zurbarán retrospective.

The centerpiece is a complete processional paso by Gregorio Fernández, five life-size painted figures from the early 1600s, shown at eye level. His life-size Cristo de la Luz and Alonso Cano’s Saint John the Baptist are among the loans never before seen in France.

Sections cover relics and saints, dressed statues, the Passion, private devotion and the Immaculate Conception, with work by Pedro de Mena, Luisa Roldán and other sculptors from Castile and Andalusia.
