Description from the seller
Large altarpiece crucifix from the early 19th century, with the carved and polychromed wooden Christ in a taste still late 18th century.
Originating from a monastic environment, where these large crucifixes accompanied daily devotion and the community's life of prayer.
An intense and authentic work, characterized by a strong expressiveness of the face and a splendid patina lived by time and devotion.
An important and deeply evocative presence, ideal for sacred collections, studies or Wunderkammer.
Good overall condition, consistent with age and devotional use. The wearing of the gilding, small losses, cracks and wear to the wood polychromy tell the authentic story of the object, without compromising its charm and its strong dramatic presence.
Overall dimensions about 55x24 cm. Dimensions of the Christ about 25x16 cm
Offered at auction with no reserve.
I guarantee proper packing and fast shipping. Thank you.
