Description from the seller
It is a relief carving of wood that embodies that devotional language so characteristic of the mid-20th century, when religious pieces were conceived to be intimate, expressive, and full of color. The structure of the cross is carved with narrative intention: each arm houses figures and symbols that dialogue with one another, creating a composition that is not only viewed but read. The central Christ, with arms outstretched, dominates the scene with a solemn and serene gesture, while around him appear characters and animals that add iconographic depth and a nearly popular altarpiece feel.
The wood, worked with volume and then polychromed, preserves that living texture that betrays manual craftsmanship. The colors—intense, warm, bordered by gold lines—reinforce the sense of a handmade piece, made to convey emotion rather than seek academic perfection. The gold that runs along the contours provides light and a ceremonial touch, elevating the whole without taking away its humanity.
It is an icon that blends tradition and craftsmanship with a very particular aesthetic of its era: expressive, approachable, full of symbolism and with a decorative presence that turns the cross into a small narrative world.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
