Description from the seller
This decorative relief of Christ is made of silvered metal, with a deeply devotional and baroque aesthetic. The figure of Jesus appears in high relief, with a radiant halo and the Sacred Heart symbol on his chest, depicted with flames, a crown of thorns, and a cross, in clear allusion to his redemptive love. His right hand is raised in a gesture of blessing, while the left points to the heart, reinforcing the spiritual message.
The frame surrounding the image is richly ornamented with scrolls, flowers, and details in scrollwork, evoking the ornamental style of the nineteenth century or early twentieth century, possibly French or Italian in inspiration. The patina on the metal accentuates the forms, giving the whole piece an aged and reverent appearance.
The inscription in Spanish says:
I will bless the houses where the image of my heart is displayed and revered.
This phrase, taken from the revelations of the Sacred Heart to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, turns the object into a piece of spiritual welcome, intended to protect the home and foster devotion.
Ideal for collectors of religious art, this type of piece combines aesthetic, symbolic, and emotional value, and tends to be well received in both antique markets and in liturgical or decorative contexts.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
