Tours of Masterpieces of Andalucia
painting and Sculpture: PROVICE OF ALMERIA |
In Almeria, Juan de Orea is responsible for the low reliefs of the
far;ade of the Cathedral and for the choir stalls there too. This
man worked in the 16th century and was one of the master masons of
the Alhambra. The worn wood of the stalls has low reliefs of the Apostles,
Prophets and Saints of classic design and purist elements. The museum
in Almeria has two examples of the Good Shepherd from the 5th and
6th centuries; they are paleochristian sculptures from Gador, of rather
roughly shaped marble from late Roman times, testimony of the beginnings
of Christianity in Andalusia.
The Los Letreros and Gabal caves (Velez Blanco) are enormously interesting.
The former was the first Andalusian cave to be studied, and it was
initially thought that its representation were a system of archaic
hieroglyphic writing, though this idea was later abandoned when other
caves were seen to have an abundance of parallel bitriangular symbols,
typical of diagrammatic Andalusian art. The Almeria area is related
both to the caves of Sierra Morena and Alto Guadalquivir, and to the
shelters of the Penibetica range.
