Description from the seller
Sculpture of Christ inspired by "Christ of Saint John of the Cross by Dalí" - 20th Century - Large format
Impactful relief sculpture depicting Christ crucified, clearly inspired by the iconic work "Christ of Saint John of the Cross" by Salvador Dalí, one of the most recognizable images in 20th-century religious art.
The piece stands out for its dramatic and expressive composition, with Christ's body viewed from an elevated perspective, emphasizing spirituality, contemplation, and the emotional intensity of the moment. This vision, far from traditional bloody drama, directly connects with the symbolic and mystical approach that made the original work famous.
It is a large-format decorative sculpture*, ideal for both religious interiors and spaces for collection, private galleries or environments where a powerful and contemplative artistic presence is sought. Its contained depth makes it easy to hang on a wall, functioning as a centerpiece with a strong visual impact.
It presents careful workmanship, with balanced proportion modeling and a clear reading of volume, conveying solemnity and sculptural character.
This work is a lost-wax bronze sculpture, a three-dimensional representation of the famous oil painting from 1951.
A work of strong character that reproduces one of the most famous works of the "Christ of Saint John of the Cross"
Title: Christ of Saint John of the Cross (or Dalí’s Crucifix).
Material: Bronze.
Style: Abstract and surrealist.
Sought to represent the metaphysical aspect of Christ rather than his suffering.
A true jewel.
