San Ignacio de Loyola, born in Azpeitia, Spain in 1491, joined the military services at age 18, and immediately after sustaining grave accidents to his legs in a battle that designed him limp for the relaxation of his life, he finished his navy job. In the course of his restoration he experienced a spiritual conversion that led to a religious lifestyle and started the order of the Modern society of Jesus in 1540, which became properly regarded for their vow of special obedience to the Pope. He was a key participant in the Counter-Reformation to react to the Protestant Reformation.
Depicted listed here, his close to balding hair and shorter beard highlighting his undeniable very good seems to be and sagacious demeanor, the priest is wearing a chasuble painted in estofado model, big intact pieces of which exhibit moderately intricate brocade patterns, with the Jesuits image in entrance and a significant cross at the back. The inner alb has lace ruffles at the collar and cuffs and the estofado evidently demonstrates the attractive design of the lace bottom. A maniple hangs from his still left arm as the hand cradles a copy of his e book The Constitutions of the Modern society of Jesus. He stands on an “ochovado” foundation with mouldings. The back of the base bears the name of the sculptor, C. Jocson, made probably for a church.
Crispulo Jocson, jointly with Manuel Flores, was the assistant of Isabelo Tampinco who designed and executed the woodwork of the altar, reredos and pulpit of San Ignacio Church in Intramuros which was accomplished in 1889. It’s possible chapel in dimensions by colonial expectations, but the Neoclassical model church is considered the most lovely church in the Philippines because of to its inside loaded with wood carvings finished in tropical hardwoods in varying hues. It was destroyed for the duration of Environment War II. Jocson later opened his personal atelier in Santa Cruz district, in Manila which became one of the most preferred santo makers in the state throughout its heyday.
Estimate: PHP 120,000 – 150,000
