Lamas Carvajal - Ourense, Galicia, España - Relief Art Sculptures on Waymarking.com

"From the formal point of view, the work, built in stone, consists of a funerary chapel and a crypt that houses the tombs. The chapel, well within the taste of the time, finds the right balance between the use of medieval-inspired elements from which eclecticism was nurtured and the funerary purpose for which it was conceived. It has a slightly rectangular floor plan and is covered with a barrel vault. His greatest artistic interest is centered on the façade, a highly symmetrical composition in which a banded arch of large voussoirs, on which is sculpted with a nineteenth-century style, Lamas Carvajal family, houses a tympanum decorated with a high relief of a successful crown laurel with intertwined ribbons. The access door guarded by short shaft columns, with vegetal capitals and bases decorated with leaves and balls, closes with an iron gate with very simple decoration, the work of the Malingre foundry whose family is related to Lamas Carvajal. The work is completed by an Irish-inspired cross, a frequent ornament in sepulchral art of this period."
