painting and Sculpture: PROVINCE OF CORDOBA |
In Cordova there are three pieces of sculpture of the first order,
for their artistic, as well as historical value. The Iberian Lion
cif Nueva Carteya, that belonged to a funerary monument, is one of
the most beautiful examples of Iberian art (Archaeological Museum);
the Madinat Azahara Fawn (10th century) is a unique figure of an animal,
of very elegant proportions, in bronze related to Fatimid art in Egypt
(Archaeological Museum), and the 3rd century AD Paleochristian Sarcophagus
in the Aldzar of the Christian Kings.
The Last Supper (Cathedral) by Pablo de Cespedes (1595) is a very
remarkable painting, full of strength ad vigour by a key painter of
Andalusian Romanticism. The Collection of drawings and Calvary in
the Prison or of the Inquisition by Antonio del Castillo (1649), work
of the greatest intensity in baroque painting at Cordova, in the Fine
Arts M useum, by this artist of great capacity, careful of synthetic

Among many others around the province, there is the Fountain of the
King by Remigio del Marmol (1802) in Priego, a curious and unfrequent
old-world composition; Christ Tied to a Column by Pedro Roldan (1675),
an excellent baroque carving in the church of Santiago at Lucena and
a remarkable 17th century figure of Christ in carved polychrome wood,
