This magnificent Mexican colonial sculpture, dating from the 18th century, is an exceptional testimony of the sacred art of the time. The sculpture depicts Saint Raphael, the archangel associated with healing and protection, and is carved from wood, a technique that reveals the artistic skill of colonial craftsmen.<\/p>\n
What makes this sculpture even more impressive is its estofado and polychrome decoration. Estofado is a technique that combines carving with gold and silver details, while polychrome adds color and life to the work, creating a vibrant and realistic representation of Saint Raphael and his surroundings.<\/p>\n
The figure of Saint Raphael is beautifully depicted, standing on a base featuring angels, adding a celestial element to the sculpture. This work is an exceptional example of the artistic and religious richness of the colonial era in Mexico.<\/p>\n
This sculpture of San Rafael is a true gem of Mexican cultural heritage and a unique collector's piece. Its historical and artistic value make it an exceptional addition to any collection of colonial sacred art.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
