Polychrome Wooden Torso of Christ – Late 16th Century, Umbro-Tuscan School: A Masterpiece of Sacred Art

A sculpture of remarkable refinement

This late 16th-century polychrome wooden torso of Christ, attributed to the Umbro-Tuscan school, is a rare and exceptional example of sacred Italian art. Carved by a master wood sculptor, it demonstrates a profound understanding of balance, movement, and human form. The anatomical harmony of the torso and the realistic modeling give this piece a powerful spiritual presence.

Elegance in the perizoma and sculptural mastery

One of the most striking features of this sculpture is the refined execution of the perizoma, delicately draped and sculpted with exquisite detail. Though missing limbs, the torso maintains a strong visual and emotional impact. Every fold and curve reveals the hand of a skilled master carver, who infused the work with timeless beauty and depth.

Fine materials and excellent conservation

Crafted in carved and polychrome wood, the torso is in excellent overall condition: the wood is stable, free from insect damage, and without structural cracks. The remnants of original polychromy highlight the high quality of the finish. With its imposing size (108 cm high, 44 cm wide, 32 cm deep), it commands attention and elevates any sacred or artistic space.

For collectors and lovers of sacred heritage

Ideal for collectors of religious art or curators of sacred spaces, this work is much more than a sculpture—it is a historic artifact of late Renaissance Italy, rich in meaning and artistry. Its spiritual energy and fine craftsmanship continue to resonate through time.
