Description from the seller
Large wooden sculpture - Crucified Christ - Hand-carved - Val Gardena - 60 cm.
For auction, an important solid-wood sculpture depicting the Crucified Christ, a fine example of sacred art from the mid-20th century (circa 1960/1970).
The work is characterized by an entirely handmade craftsmanship, typical of the Alpine sculptural tradition (South Tyrol/Tyrol region). The figure of Christ emerges from a wooden background that serves as a stylized cross, decorated with a dense pattern of gouge marks that create a dynamic play of light and shadow.
- Style: sacred expressionism. The body is rendered with elongated and dry lines, conveying a deep sense of solemnity and composed suffering.
- Material: wood left in a natural tone with a wax finish, which enhances its grain and the warm patina of time.
- Generous dimensions: height 60 cm, width 17 cm, depth 11 cm. A piece with notable stage presence, suitable for both classical and modern contexts.
The item is in excellent condition. It shows no cracks in the wood, no signs of woodworm, or restorations. The structure is solid and the original hanging hook is present and sturdy.
Please carefully review the photo gallery, which is an integral part of the description, in order to avoid unpleasant misunderstandings.
Professional packaging with at least 80% recycled materials, shipping with tracking.
