Colonial School. Quito. Ecuador. Attributable to Manuel de Chili "Caspicara" (Quito, 1723 - 1796).Saint Teresa of Avila, as Doctor of the ChurchCarved and polychromed wooden sculpture.Height: 77 cm.Magnificent sculpture with candelieri decoration (to be dressed). Wearing a richly adorned brown Carmelite habit and a toasted chickpea-coloured cloak with flourishes and embroidery. She wears an academic birreta. Missing from her right hand is the "plume of inspiration," and from her left, the "resting dove," as she used to call the Holy Spirit. Adorning her chest is a jewel embroidered in silver thread, with the Infant Jesus inside, symbolising her fervent love for Him, which she followed and pursued throughout her life. This represents the famous engraving by Antonius Wierix (Antwerp, c. 1555/1559 - 1604) that was in her cell, and which provided her with so much peace and love when she contemplated it.Undoubtedly, the sculpture is a marvellous example of Quito imagery. It bears important similarities to the "Dressed Image of the Virgin of Mercy" or "Pilgrim of Quito," circa 1700-1750, kept in the LACMA, Los Angeles County Museum of Art.It retains its original clothing of embroidered silk, silver thread, gemstones, and thread. Adorning her chest is a silk embroidered heart with the inflamed heart of the Infant Jesus, made of painted glass, inside it. Manuel Chili, known by his artistic name, "Caspicara", was one of the most important indigenous sculptors of the so-called Quito School of the 18th century.His teachers were Diego de Robles and Bernardo de Legarda, with whom he collaborated as a young man in their workshops.In fact, he is considered the successor in the art of imagery to Bernardo de Legarda, who created magnificent sculptures, especially in wood or marble.Caspicara began his work making images at a very early age, according to the historian Jaime Aguilar de Paredes, until he achieved a mastery that placed him at the level of European artists.Specializing in religious motifs made of wood and marble, his work was made for the most important altars in churches and convents in the region, although his sculptures also reached Europe to form part of the collections of the nobility and monarchy.The Quito school, led by Caspicara, reached its maximum splendour in the 17th and 18th centuries, being of great prestige among the colonies as well as in the Spanish Court in Madrid. Its production was one of the activities that contributed the most income to the Royal Court of Quito.The phrase attributed to King Charles III, referring to the Quito School, is well known: "I am not worried that Italy has Michaelangelo, in my American colonies I have the master Caspicara".His best-known works are in Quito Cathedral and in San Francisco Church in Quito, as well as in the Hispanic Society of America.Likewise, as the Cervantes Institute website indicates: “Due to the beauty of the way in which they were prepared, the Christ of Bethlehem is outstanding; also, the recumbent Christ and the Virgin of Light that watch over the Museum of the Central Bank of Ecuador; the Assumption of the Virgin that adorns the Church of San Francisco; the Impression of the Wounds, located in La Cantuña; and in particular, the Holy Shroud that visitors to the cathedral of Quito can admire.” Reference bibliography:- Aguilar Paredes, Jaime.

Finished in special order Sunrise over Barley and Autumn Hides. Delectable with full Bentley History The Bentley Arnage was launched in 1998, replacing the Bentley Turbo which had offered sterling service for many years. Built by Bentley Motors in Crewe from 1998 to 2009, the Arnage and its Rolls-Royce sibling, the Silver Seraph, were introduced in the Spring of 1998 and were the first entirely new designs for the two marques since 1980, when the Silver Spirit and Mulsanne models had been introduced. The new Arnage was designed to be powered by a new state-of-the-art BMW V8 engine with Cosworth-engineered twin-turbochargers and was designated the Arnage Green Label. The Arnage Red Label was launched in October 1999 and, for a number of reasons, reverted back to Bentley power using the traditional V8 engine, with a displacement of 6,750cc.Finished in special order Sunrise with Barley and secondary Autumn Hide, this exceptional Arnage stands out from the crowd, not simply due to the stunning colour scheme but also its overall stunning condition. It was first registered in January 2000 with the Cherished Registration Number, BH 4 (no longer assigned). The extensive specification points towards a fastidious owner with many of the extra boxes ticked upon ordering, such as the Burr Walnut interior complemented by the discreet 'Flying Bs', the picnic tables, the matching veneered door panels, the extended seat runners, rear companion mirrors, rear hand straps, the tilt and slide sunroof and the Lambswool over-mats, with final touches such as the silver hip flask and four glasses, creating an air of elegance that only a Bentley can provide. Even the dual umbrellas, specified from new, still reside in the luggage compartment. Externally, the chrome grille, waist-rail motifs and fine-line detailing are subtle, yet lift the overall appearance without being obtrusive.It has just been serviced by Bentley Leicester and provided with a fresh MOT confirming the outstanding condition and continued fastidious ownership. There is little paperwork to accompany the Arnage due to minimal use on the Isle of Man, however the comprehensive service history is detailed as follows ;41 Miles – JCT 6006,044 Miles – JCT 60010,893 Miles – JCT 60013,714 – JCT 60017,535 – JCT 60018,795 – JCT 60034,790 – Starmar Bentley36,392 – Bentley LeicesterThe indicated mileage at the time of viewing was 36,461.These commanding cars offer an unprecedented level of comfort and effortlessly cover the miles in the most luxurious of settings, turning every journey into an occasion.
