Restello

Restello. Culture: Italian, Venice. Dimensions: Overall, 78.8 x 72.3 cm; sight, 25.8 x 25.5 cm; rebate, 28 x 27.5 cm.. Date: early 16th century. Essentially a tabernacle with decorative relief panels, this carved and gilt mirror frame is structurally similar to a type of tabernacle frame made for private devotional images in Venice and the Veneto during the first third of the sixteenth century. The present mirror is a modern replacement. Holes in the base molding, now plugged, evidently held hooks for hanging combs and brushes. Mirror frames of this type must have been common at one time, though surviving examples are relatively rare. The Lehman example is decorated with polychrome and pastiglia (applied ornament of gesso). Detached candelabrum-style columns support imposts punched with a scale pattern and a dentilated cornice with blue recesses. The base of the frame is supported on consoles above a relief panel in the form of an antependium, which is carved with acanthus leaves around a shield. The top and sides of the frame are similarly extended with relief panels of summary griffins, acanthus, and vine leaves against a punched ground. The entablature and predella friezes are filled with pressed pastiglia ornament.

Descripción:
Traducción automática: Restello. Cultura: italiano, Venecia. Dimensiones: total, 78,8 x 72,3 cm; mira, 25,8 x 25,5 cm; rebaja, 28 x 27,5 cm. Fecha: principios del siglo XVI. Esencialmente un tabernáculo con paneles decorativos en relieve, este marco de espejo tallado y dorado es estructuralmente similar a un tipo de marco de tabernáculo hecho para imágenes devocionales privadas en Venecia y el Véneto durante el primer tercio del siglo XVI. El espejo actual es un reemplazo moderno. Los agujeros en la moldura de la base, ahora tapados, evidentemente contenían ganchos para colgar peines y cepillos. Los marcos de espejos de este tipo deben haber sido comunes en algún momento, aunque los ejemplos que sobreviven son relativamente raros. El ejemplo de Lehman está decorado con policromía y pastiglia (adorno aplicado de yeso). Columnas arrancadas a modo de candelabro soportan impostas troqueladas a escala y cornisa dentada con rebajes azules. La base del marco se apoya en consolas sobre un panel en relieve en forma de antependio, que está tallado con hojas de acanto alrededor de un escudo. La parte superior y los lados del marco se extienden de manera similar con paneles en relieve de grifos sumarios, acantos y hojas de vid contra un suelo perforado. Los frisos del entablamento y la predela están rellenos de pastiglia prensada.
