Unique & Powerful Italian Antique Crucifix w. a Stunning Bronze Corpus of Christ
About the Item
Large antique Baroque crucifix with stunning details and an amazing patina.
Because of the quality in the detail or because of the perfect anatomy or because of a perfect facial expression, some sculptures are in a league of their own. When it comes to most of those things, this sculpture of Christ (as you can see in our images) is right up there with the best. The artist who sculpted this impressive work of religious art has created a church relic that is second to none. The body posture, the anatomy and the multi-level depth of this crucifix (with a wooden wall plaque, a gilt bronze cross and a bronze corpus) make this crucifix very special. But what makes this sizeable and impressive crucifix more powerful and compelling than most is the suffering facial expression of Christ. It really makes this church relic stand out from anything you may have ever seen. In many parts of the world humanity has come a long way since the life of Christ, but a lot of His work still needs to be done and He keeps inspiring many of us to move forward. The artist whom created this antique himself too must have been inspired by the life and history of Christ, because how else can anyone create such a masterpiece.

- Baroque Style Hand Carved Wooden Crucifix with Stunning Bronze Corpus of ChristLocated in Lisse, NLCrucifix from the mid-1800s with a carved shroud or veil depicting Christ in the base. This unique and remarkable antique crucifix can both be used as a table and as a wall crucifix. Over the decades we have sold a number of unique and very well crafted crucifixes, but never one in the Baroque style with this combination of materials and techniques. The overall design and size is what stands out first, but the details and the materials are what make this antique work of religious art extraordinary. With four angels (or putti) watching over a sculpture of the Veil of Veronica, the relatively large base of this unique crucifix is a work of religious art in its own right. It is almost as if the cross is growing from this beautiful base and the cross itself too comes with a number of superbly hand carved details. To us, the most remarkable are the three stunning Baroque shells. With their symbolic meaning of birth and resurrection it is obvious why the artist / sculptor so tastefully incorporated them here. Apart from a minor 'lean' to the left, the cross itself too is in excellent condition. If one were to speak of a trinity in this crucifix then the unique base and cross are completed with an equally striking, solid bronze corpus of Christ...Category

- Antique Crucifix with A Unique Tree Trunk Style Wooden Cross & Corpus of ChristLocated in Lisse, NLUnique and perfectly balanced crucifix with a marvelous cross and a detailed corpus of Jesus. This unique design crucifix comes with an incredibly detailed and top quality carved, circular, tree trunk-like cross. We have never seen such a cross before and it must have taken one highly skilled sculptor / artisan a very long time to create. The corpus of Christ too comes with beautiful details and it has the most amazing patina. We have sold some rare and good quality crucifixes over the years and this finely detailed corpus on this rare wooden cross is right up there with the most unique. Some crucifixes come with sculptures of Christ in terrible agony, but the serene face of this Christ reflects nothing but piece and calm. Both alive and deceased He was in a different realm and that is what the sculptor (in our view) has perfectly managed to capture. Have you also noticed the original and stylish INRI sign at the top? Furthermore, this antique crucifix...Category

- Antique Crucifix w. Bronze Corpus and Stunning Hand Carved Oakwood CrossLocated in Lisse, NLGood size, finest quality and superb condition antique wall crucifix. This antique work of religious art consists of a top quality carved, oakwooden cross and a superbly hand-crafted bronze corpus of Christ with a beautiful patina. The rare wooden cross comes with superbly hand carved 'fleur de lis' symbols on all ends which makes us believe that this ecclesiastical antique in the Renaissance Style originates from France. This bronze sculpture of Christ clearly depicts Jesus just shortly after the suffering has ended and His body could no longer hold on to life. People think of different things when looking at Christ who died on the cross, but no matter what you think of most, this antique crucifix...Category
