Description from the seller
Great carved wooden Christ Resurrected – Flemish work of the 16th century
Imposing wooden sculpture carved representing the Resurrected Christ, standing, raising the right hand in a gesture of blessing. The work stands out for its dynamic composition: the Christ steps with the right foot forward, head slightly inclined, gaze imbued with gentleness and majesty.
The body is treated with great anatomical vigor, typical of Flemish workshops of the first half of the 16th century: nervy modeling, perizonium draperies strained, hair and beard deeply chiseled.
Right hand raised in blessing (index and middle finger shortened today), left hand falling forward. The whole is animated by an upward movement, conveying victory over death and the glory of the Risen One.
The reverse shows the edge of the mantle falling in soft folds on the back.
The work is carved from a single trunk of oak (or other hard wood), with an old, homogeneous patina, not polychromed today (very light traces of old polychromy possible).
Tall vertical cracks and some wear losses, restorations attest to its age
Probably intended for a monumental altarpiece or a Resurrection group placed on an altar tomb.
Height approximately: about 170 cm
Probable origin: Flanders, around 1500–1550
Wood: oak (to be confirmed)
Good overall condition considering its age; visible cracks and losses, right hand partially eroded, surface cleaned and stabilized.
A piece of exceptional presence, rare for its size and the power of its modeling.
Sacred artwork for a museum or prestigious collection.
