18th century Spain Veronica Veil with the Holy Face of Jesus. Size 13 1/2 inches high, 9 1/4 inches wide. A very rare, unusual, wall plaque representing the Veronica Veil with the Holy Face of Jesus. Probably late Spanish Baroque piece with fantastic details, such as glass eyes and a thorn crown manufactured using natural fibers. The plaque is an astonishing smart representation of a 2D subject but using and implementing 3D techniques. Result is beyond mesmerizing and very much as expected in Religious Arts from Spain in the 18th century. Provenance: Ex Robert Haber Ancient Art NYC. Robert Haber’s interest in archeology and antiquities came about while studying in Jerusalem. While working on an excavation, he discovered the practical world of archaeological conservation, and was immediately enthralled with the field. In pursuit of a career in the conservation of antiquities, Mr. Haber was awarded an apprenticeship at the Israel Museum and was later hired by the restoration department. He went on to study at the University College London as a Kress Fellow under Prof. Henry Hodges and received a Diploma in the Conservation of Ancient Materials.
