Tours of Masterpieces of Andalucia
painting and Sculpture: PROVINCE OF HUELVA |
At Huelva in La Punta del Sebo, stands the Monument to Columbus by
Whitney, a large statue of very modern constructive and hermetic lines,
given to the city by the American sculptress and millionairess; it
is placed facing La Ribida on the confluence of the Tinto and Odiel
rivers.
The 14th century figure of the Virgin of the Miracles, also known
as the patron of the Americas, is to be seen in the monastery of Santa
Maria de la Ribida at Palos de la Frontera; it is a lovely small carving
in alabaster, of the Virgin with the child Jesus in her arms, it has
naturalistic features, but with Gothic strokes. Also in the monastery,
there are the medieval murals in the church and lower cloister, from
the beginning of the 15th century. It is an interesting series of
paintings in earth coloured tones, of Gothic leaves, bows, heraldry
and batdements. The Mural of the Discovery are also worth mentioning,
by Vazquez Díaz. An extraordinary Tartessos Jar in bronze,
with a deer's and horse's head, and the ornaments of a carriage, with
a feline head on the hubcap may be seen at the Museum in Huelva.
The Apocalipse is the subject of eight paintaings in the high altar
at the monastery of Santa Clara in Moguer (1635-40); their design
is from the school of Martinez Montanes and they were painted by his
disciple Jeronimo Velazquez.
