A valuable work
El Santo Niño de los Angeles is the most valuable that exists in the hamlet.
This work belonged to the ancient sculptural group Our Lady Queen of Angels, which was destroyed during the Civil War.
So, could only save the child.
In recent years, due to its value, the piece has only been exposed to the faithful during Christmas.
The rest of the year was still kept in a safe.
The restoration of the Child facilitated the creation of a new brotherhood in Sangonera regaining its old habit of bringing class to the homes of the parish by Christmas.
The rehabilitation process was conducted by the Center for Restoration of the region, under the direction of Francisco López Soldevila.
The report of the restoration is emphasized that the piece was made in the last third of the nineteenth century and represents the naked boy covered with a light blue loincloth.
Restorers of fine polychrome highlights with a brush on face and hair, and flesh tones and cool in the body.
Undoubtedly be ascribed to the parameters set by Francisco Sánchez Tapia, given the link between the sculptural repertoire of that artist and some carvings in the town of Sangonera La Verde, without forgetting those technical resources so typical of this imager Salzillo follower such as the softness and delicacy of carving and flesh tones, respectively, without forgetting the wake of the teacher always live in it.
