Germany Or Northern Italy, Late 17th Century. Christ On The Cross
Here is a simple yet moving depiction of Christ on the cross, carved from wood and painted.
While it may be a work of local piety, the fact remains that the anonymous artist who carved this face and body did so with undeniable skill, bringing to life this torso throbbing with suffering while giving the face a reassuring expression, full of gentleness and imbued with grace.
The hair, in its simplicity, is remarkable.
Far from the churches of the court, dripping with gold and marble, this cross conveys the most beautiful expression of faith.
Originally mounted on a pedestal, it will readily find its place on the wall of a private chapel.
Dimensions of the Christ figure: 45 cm x 31 cm
