Description from the seller
Corpus Christi in sculpted boxwood –, 17th century
Circle of Alonso Berruguete or Juan Martínez Montañés. Description :Splendid and rare Corpus Christi carved in boxwood, in the round, a masterful testimony of the fervor and technical virtuosity of Spanish religious sculpture of the 16th century (Mannerist Period / Early Golden Age).
The work is distinguished by its great expressive power, characteristic of late Renaissance Spanish religious statuary: face marked by suffering, eyes half-closed, mouth slightly open, nervous anatomy with protruding ribs and a strongly modeled abdomen.
The treatment of the hair and beard, deeply sculpted into wavy and curled strands, is particularly remarkable. The perizonium, tied at the hip, presents an animated drapery with deeply carved folds.
Through its expressiveness, the elongation of the body, and the vigor of the sculpture, this Christ is situated within the Spanish Mannerist tradition developed in the 16th century, in the wake of Alonso Berruguete and his circle.
Condition: beautiful old patina. Arms missing at the shoulder level, with visible mortises from assembly. Old cracks and age-related damage to the wood, notably on the chest and the perizonium.
Presented on a modern black metal base.
Beautiful piece from the High Antique period, with a particularly strong sculptural presence.
The photos are an integral part of the object description and complete its presentation. They allow you to appreciate its condition and features. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.
The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
