About the Item

Magnificent and Monumental 16th Century Renaissance Carved Oak Bust of Christ, Flemish Netherlandish, C. 1550 A powerful and deeply expressive Renaissance carved oak bust of Jesus Christ, dating to the 16th century, of impressive scale and masterful execution. Carved from rich Northern European oak, the bust presents Christ with a solemn, contemplative gaze, his elongated features, flowing hair, and finely detailed beard evoking both spiritual authority and profound human emotion. The sculptor has rendered Christ in a high-relief classical style, with finely incised detailing across the garment, featuring scrolling foliate motifs and a boldly defined sash — stylistic elements consistent with late Gothic transitioning into Northern Renaissance wood carving traditions. The overall composition, especially the strong facial structure, furrowed brow, and naturalistic hair treatment, exemplifies the devotional intensity and anatomical sophistication characteristic of religious sculpture of this period. Raised on a turned and stepped circular plinth, the bust retains a striking presence and rich patina, with age-related surface wear and minor splits that attest to its genuine antiquity and centuries of veneration. This is a rare and museum-worthy devotional object, likely once part of a larger ecclesiastical setting or private chapel. Ideal for collectors of early Christian art, Renaissance woodwork, Flemish and Netherlandish works of art, or sacred iconography. A rare opportunity to acquire a truly museum-quality devotional object that combines spiritual power with historical depth. 24" high x 17.5" wide x 9,5" deep Condition: Excellent for age; stable with expected age-related cracks and surface wear
