Resurrected Christ In Gilded Polychrome Carved Wood With 17th Century Leaf

Here is a resurrected Christ from the 17th century, it has its original gilding, a superb drape and is beautifully made. For the condition, note a little wear of the gilding, we note that the left forearm is missing, the feet are broken, the drape at the back of the right hand is broken, it is barely holding together. However, this Christ remains in a generally presentable condition. Throughout Antiquity and the first two thirds of the Middle Ages, the Resurrection is represented by images faithfully inspired by the text of the Gospel itself: soldiers sleeping near an open tomb, holy women arriving in the presence of an angel. From the end of the 13th century, Western artists began to let their imagination run wild and create scenes that no witness is supposed to have ever seen: Christ emerging triumphantly from the tomb, Jesus lifted into the air. Our numerous photos allow you to appreciate the quality of this Christ. For the condition, please detail the photos. Feel free to zoom in. The photos are an integral part of the description.
