A new sculpture for Valladolid
12/2/25 - Acquisition - Valladolid, Museo nacional de Escultura - Although its creator remains anonymous, the quality of this statue is undeniable. Carved in wood during the first half of the 18-th century, it represents Saint Joseph with the infant Jesus (ill. 1). Purchased for 53,500 euros by the Spanish State from Shutters Fine Arts, it is now in the National Sculpture Museum in Valladolid and joins a work on the same subject in the collections, acquired in 2019 and created a few decades earlier by a great figure of Spanish Baroque, Pedro de Mena (see the news item of 28/8/19).
