Description from the seller
CRUCIFIED CHRIST – CENTRAL EUROPEAN SCULPTURE OF THE 16th CENTURY
Central Europe, 16th century
TECHNICAL DATA
Origin: Central Europe
Region: Central Europe
Period: 16th century
Material: Carved wood with remnants of polychromy
Style: Renaissance with late Gothic influence
Measurements: 45 × 12 × 10 cm
Old religious sculpture from the 16th century depicting Christ crucified, made of carved wood with remnants of its original polychromy.
The figure presents a stylized composition, with the head inclined toward the right shoulder, closed eyes, and an expression of restrained suffering. Distinct are the pronounced facial features, the carved beard, and the anatomical treatment of the torso, with pronounced ribs.
The loincloth, tied at the waist and worked with geometric drapery, retains characteristics typical of Central European Renaissance sculpture, still influenced by late Gothic models.
The surface features an intense dark patina, with remnants of preparation and antique polychromy that confer a notable historical character to the piece.
Conservation status: Fragmentary sculpture, lacking both arms and with losses at the feet. Shows wear, small cracks, losses of polychromy, and aging signs typical of its age.
An interesting example of Central European devotional sculpture from the 16th century, with marked expressiveness and historical character.
