About the Item

This early 18th-century Spanish oil painting depicts an infant Jesus clutching a cross before a landscape.
Dressed in a flowing white robe, as a symbolic reference to purity, the child Jesus is presented holding a crucifix to represent his ultimate fate. It’s a juxtaposition of divine innocence and the brutality of mankind. This theme is often depicted in Christian iconography and reminds the viewer of Christ’s sacrifice to deliver us from the consequences of sin.
The paint surface has suffered some distress over the centuries, probably from the time it spent in a church or private chapel, but it’s entirely stable and conserved. It’s an enchanting decorative piece.
Held in a later wooden frame.

View AllEarly 19th-Century Central European School, Christ The Saviour, Oil Painting
Located in Cheltenham, GB
US buyers pay no import tariffs on this item.
This early 19th-century central European oil painting depicts Christ The Saviour standing atop an orb and carrying a cross over his left shoulder.
An unusual composition, Christ’s rather striking posture is perhaps more ‘Saturday Night Fever’ than it is sacramental. However, the iconography is archaic and derived ultimately from New Testament illustrations dating to the Middle Ages. Depictions of orbs are usually symbolic of the universe, while the cross alludes to redemption. Hence, it’s a visual representation of Christ as the Saviour of humanity.
