Description from the seller
It is a late-20th-century ceramic crucifix, a piece that combines traditional iconography with a play of mirrors that adds depth, shine, and a contemporary reading of the religious motif. The figure of Christ, molded in ceramic with a soft and serene treatment, maintains the classical expressiveness: simplified anatomy, white cloth, folded posture. It does not seek drama, but an intimate and restrained devotional presence.
The cross, constructed with faceted and mirrored surfaces, introduces the most singular element of the piece. Each plane reflects light and the surroundings, creating an almost three-dimensional effect that transforms the scene into something alive, changing, luminous. This use of the mirror — so characteristic of certain devotional objects from the late 20th century — adds a symbolic dimension: light that multiplies, the image that expands, spirituality that becomes visual presence.
The frame, with moldings in golden, beige and brown tones, envelopes the composition with a ceremonial air, almost Baroque, but reinterpreted from a modern sensibility. Its depth and its play of layers reinforce the idea that the crucifix is not only a devotional object, but also a decorative piece with character.
Overall, this crucifix brings together expressive ceramic, geometric mirrors, symbolic shine, and an aesthetics that blends tradition and modernity.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
