Baroque Crucifix - Wood - 18th Century - Processional Cross 100cm

Processional cross, Portuguese, 18th century, in carved, raised, and gilt wood, of elegant Baroque execution. Cross with cut and ornate shafts, terminals in vegetal scrolls and stylized floral elements, centering a Crucified Christ in carved and polychromed wood, with expressive anatomical modeling and careful painting, highlighting the wounds of the Passion. Golden glory arranged at the intersection of the arms of the cross, granting greater solemnity to the ensemble. The turned shaft, richly decorated with phytomorphic elements and Rocaille-inspired motifs, rests on a triangular base with cut profiles, richly carved and gilded, intended for fixation on a processional support or display on an altar. A representative piece of Portuguese 18th-century religious imagination, executed according to the canons of the National Baroque, standing out for the quality of the carving, the harmony of proportions, and the excellent decorative effect of the gilding in contrast with the polychromy of the figure of Christ. It shows signs of use, small wear, and slight losses of gilding compatible with age, which do not compromise its historical, artistic, and decorative interest. Dimensions: 100 × 30 × 10 cm. Note: This is a piece with a strong visual impact, suitable for sacred art collections, interiors with historical decor, or integration into religious heritage, being a good example of Portuguese gilded wood carving of the 18th century."} )?
