[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Talla del siglo XIX de autor an\u00f3nimo realizada en madera policromada.<\/p>\n
La escultura en madera policromada de San Expedito, Patr\u00f3n de las causas imposibles, se adapta a las pautas est\u00e9ticas barrocas aunque con un modelado algo m\u00e1s blando. Una peana cuadrangular con una moldura dorada lisa relanza el porte de la talla, que adquiere prestancia y airosidad a partir del cuerpo enhiesto apoyado en un balanceante movimiento, para el que adelanta la pierna izquierda.<\/p>\n
San Expedito se representa ataviado como soldado romano, con botas, faldell\u00edn, coraza y capa, mientras a sus pies se asienta el casco y el cuervo, en este caso mutilado.<\/p>\n
Tambi\u00e9n le faltan los atributos portados en las manos, pues si en la derecha (que alza hasta el pecho) as\u00eda una cruz, en la izquierda (relajada y pegada al cuerpo) portaba la palma (s\u00edmbolo de martirio).<\/p>\n
Con todo, el autor recarga las tintas sobre la factura de la cabeza y el rostro, en consonancia con el gesto del brazo alzado. Una testa de perfil oval y perspectiva frontal, realmente marcada por la elevaci\u00f3n de la mirada al c\u00e9nit en una expresi\u00f3n que lo inunda de un profundo misticismo.<\/p>\n
Por lo dem\u00e1s, es dif\u00edcil hacer una valoraci\u00f3n de la policrom\u00eda por los sucesivos repintes a los que ha sido sometida la imagen.<\/p>\n
Antiguamente recib\u00eda culto junto a una imagen de Santa Teresa de Jes\u00fas en el altar que fue de la Inmaculada Concepci\u00f3n, frontero al de San Francisco de As\u00eds.<\/p>\n

La historia de este santo surge, al parecer a finales del siglo XVIII. Era un comandante de la XII legi\u00f3n romana (\u201cFulminata\u201d), formada en su mayor\u00eda por soldados cristianos. Ten\u00edan como misi\u00f3n principal defender las fronteras orientales contra los ataques de los hunos.<\/p>\n
En el momento de su conversi\u00f3n se le apareci\u00f3 un cuervo (ave que representa al demonio), el cual le disuad\u00eda para que no se convirtiera al cristianismo grit\u00e1ndole \u201ccras, cras, cras\u201d que en lat\u00edn quiere decir ma\u00f1ana, en tanto que Expedito le respondi\u00f3 \u00bfHodie, hodie, hodie!\u201d que significa hoy. Posteriormente le aplast\u00f3 con el pie izquierdo.<\/p>\n
Tras haberse convertido, predic\u00f3 a su tropa intentando acercarles al cristianismo. Esta circunstancia provoc\u00f3 la ira del emperador Diocleciano. Fue flagelado hasta sangrar y decapitado con su espada un 19 de abril.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][us_grid post_type=\u00bbattachment\u00bb images=\u00bb8040,8041″ items_quantity=\u00bb\u00bb items_layout=\u00bbgallery_default\u00bb type=\u00bbmasonry\u00bb columns=\u00bb4″ img_size=\u00bbus_350_350_crop\u00bb overriding_link=\u00bbpopup_post_image\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
