Description from the seller
Important pipe clay bas-relief – 'The Deposition of Christ' – signed E. Casier – 19th century
A bas-relief of great finesse depicting the Deposition of the Cross, treated in a very narrative style and with impressive sculptural density: nine figures, deep drapery, individualized faces, tools of the Deposition, the skull of Golgotha at the bottom of the scene…
The depth of the relief is remarkable, creating real successive layers like a small sacred theater.
The material — pipe clay (very fine white clay) — is being exploited to the maximum here: soft modeling, sharp details, almost ivory-like finish.
The sculptor has complete mastery of the balance of volumes, notably in the fall of Christ's body and the interlacing of the arms supporting the body. The work bears the signature E. Casier, clearly legible in the lower part of the relief.
Presented in its large original oval frame, made of blackened wood with gilded relief floral decoration, perfectly suited to this type of 19th-century religious sculpture.
Total dimensions with frame: 40 × 33 cm.
Very good overall condition, minor restoration visible. Original intact curved glass.
About E. Casier
The name E. Casier is associated with religious bas-reliefs made of pipe clay from the late 19th century, typical of productions from Belgium or Northern France, regions renowned for their fine white clay.
Its works demonstrate a remarkable mastery of modeling and a very close aesthetic to the Belgian work of that period. A spectacular religious piece, highly decorative, and far superior to the average devotional pipe lands of that era.
