About the Item

Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Brazilian folk art with this captivating mid-century modern terracotta crucifix sculpture by José Rodrigues da Silva. This exquisite piece, crafted from the warm earth tones of terracotta and glazed with a timeless patina, originates from Caruaru, Pernambuco, Brazil, and dates back to the mid-20th century. Attributed to the renowned artist José Rodrigues da Silva, the sculpture embodies the profound artistry and spiritual heritage of Brazilian folk tradition. Features: Origin: Caruaru, Pernambuco, Brazil Artist: Attributed to José Rodrigues da Silva Period: Mid-20th century (c. 1950s) Medium: Terracotta, glazed Dimensions: L19.5 x P9 x H32 cm (7.67 x 3.54 x 12.60 inches) Weight: 0.980 kg (2.16 lbs) Description: Depicting Jesus Christ upon the cross, the sculpture radiates a sense of serenity and acceptance. The intricate details of the drapery and the delicate rendering of the facial features showcase the artist's masterful hand. The rich terracotta glaze lends an earthy warmth, while subtle variations in tone and texture add depth and dimension to the artwork. Condition: This Christ en Croix sculpture is in overall good vintage condition, with minor signs of age and wear consistent with its mid-20th century origin. There are minor chips on the left side of the perizonium (loincloth) and a slight firing flaw on the neck. The sculpture would benefit from cleaning. The reflections visible in the photos are due to lighting and are not defects in the artwork. Please refer to the 12 detailed photos for a comprehensive assessment of the condition. Significance: This Christ en Croix stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Brazilian folk art, embodying the deep-rooted faith and cultural traditions of the region. The work's artistic merit and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of religious art or Brazilian folk art.
