Description from the seller
Bas-relief “Ecce Homo” in bronze with a wrought-iron frame
– Sacred art of the 20th century
Suggestive bronze bas-relief with a religious subject depicting Ecce Homo, Christ crowned with thorns, with an intense and deeply evocative expression. The work is framed by a rich wrought-iron structure, adorned with elegant scrolls and vegetal motifs, which give the piece a strong decorative character and a dramatic presence typical of devotional furnishings from the early 20th century.
The bronze casting yields excellent depth and a strong sense of form: the modeling of the face, the hair, and the crown of thorns show well-defined details, while the inscription 'ECCE HOMO' helps make the whole composition even more significant from an iconographic point of view.
The wrought iron frame, crafted with harmonious and well-proportioned artisanal workmanship, represents a notable added value, as it integrates the artwork coherently and enhances its artistic and decorative function. The contrast between the warm patina of bronze and the metal structure yields a result of great elegance, perfect for interiors in classical, eclectic, or period styles.
Ideal for collectors of sacred art, to adorn important walls or to be included in a composition of antique objects and period frames.
• Type: wall bas-relief
• Subject: Ecce Homo
• Materials: bronze and wrought iron
• Era: early 20th century (circa)
• Dimensions: height about 41 cm; width about 26 cm; depth about 3 cm
Overall good condition, with an aged patina and slight signs of wear consistent with its age, attesting to its authenticity and charm.
Proper packaging and trackable shipping throughout Europe.
