Description from the seller
An impressive antique Italian bronze religious high-relief, depicting Jesus Christ as Ecce Homo, mounted on a beautifully contrasting cognac-coloured velvet-covered wooden panel.
Originating from Italy and probably dating to the early 20th century (c. 1900–1930), this expressive devotional artwork reflects the rich tradition of Italian sacred sculpture and bronze craftsmanship.
Christ is portrayed with downcast eyes, flowing hair and a finely modelled crown of thorns, surrounded by a radiant halo and the inscription “ECCE HOMO” – “Behold the Man”.
The substantial bronze relief features pronounced three-dimensional modelling, an attractive dark patina and warm bronze highlights, beautifully complemented by the velvet-covered display panel.
Dimensions & Condition
Bronze diameter: 14 cm
Relief depth: approximately 2 cm
Wooden panel: 20.8 × 20.8 cm
Total weight: 939 g
Beautifully preserved bronze with natural age-related patina. The velvet shows some signs of wear, consistent with age. Complete with a hanging fitting on the reverse.
A striking example of Italian Christian devotional art, ideal for collectors of antique religious bronzes and ecclesiastical decoration.
