Spanish to English: Art museum guide General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Architecture
Source text - Spanish Un alero de canes de madera y tornapuntas de hierro forjado recorre toda la fachada dotándola de gran homogeneidad como ocurre con todas las ventanas existentes con rejas de hierro forjado al estilo murciano del momento, colocadas todas, en su gran mayoría, hacia 1950.
A su lado está la portada del museo tal y como fue concebida por José Tamés en 1950 y sigue el estilo de la de Jesús, enmarcada con simples columnas y balcón superior. Yago Bonet ha incluido una espadaña de perfiles rectos sobre un piso con cinco ventanas rectangulares, que suponen un toque actual y un contrapunto a la silueta curva de la cúpula de Jesús.
En el lado norte se encuentra la portada del palacio Riquelme, instalada en el Museo en la década de los años setenta. Ahora es su entrada principal y, con esta acción, Bonet le ha dado realce al recuperar una imagen histórica que otorga un rostro monumental de gran dignidad al acceso principal. El majestuoso arco de medio punto de rotundos sillares, queda coronado por las figuras de los salvajes que sostienen un escudo con láurea y una elegante ventana tripartita con pilastrillas jónicas. La construcción moderna se retrotrae para el lucimiento y contemplación del escudo nobiliario entre dos leones tenantes en la esquina.
Translation - English The eaves, made up of wooden corbels and wrought iron braces, run across the entire façade. They provide great uniformity with all the existing wrought iron grilled windows, in the Murcian style of the time, mostly installed around 1950.
Alongside it is the porch of the museum as conceived by José Tamés in 1950, following in the style of the church, framed with simple columns and an upper balcony. Yago Bonet included a belfry with straight profiles, on a floor with five rectangular windows, which gives a modern feel and contrasts with the curved silhouette of the cupola of the church.
On the north side is the porch of the Riquelme Palace, which was installed at the museum in the 1970’s. Nowadays it is the main entrance, and as such, Bonet placed great importance on recapturing a historical image, providing a monumental face of great dignity to the main doorway. The majestic semicircular arch of strong ashlars, remains crowned by figures of savages holding a shield and laurel, and an elegant tripartite window with small Ionic pilasters. The modern construction pays special attention to the showcasing and viewing of the royal coat of arms between two resident lions in the corner.
