Tours of Masterpieces of Andalusia Painting and Sculpure
Almería
In Almeria, Juan de Orcea is responsible for the low reliefs
of the façade 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 hos low reliefs of the Apostles, Prophets
and Saints of classic design and purist elements. The museum
in Almería has two examples of the Good Shpherd 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 (Vélez 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 hav an abundance of parallel bitriangular sumbols,
typical of diagrammatic Andalusian art. The Almería
area is related both to the caves of Sierra Morena and Alto
Guadalquivir, and to the shelters of the Penibética
range.
