About the Item

Exceptional and large 17th C Spanish Corpus Christi. Made of limewood and delicately sculpted with high quality details. The elongated, thin and stretched anatomical features contribute to the overall feeling of fragility of this Christ. The corpus has beautiful rests of Polychrome, paint, cracks in the wood, and some traces of time. The anatomical elements such as the ribs, toes, tendons, and knees are very finely sculpted for such a large statue. The head and face are expressive thanks to the detailing of the hair, eyes, and mouth with teeth, which is very rare. The forged elements, such as the nail through the feet and the original suspension bracket with forged nails, are still present. Parts of the old connecting plugs to the arms are also still present. This version of a corpus christ is representing a suffering christ with serene expression.

Great Quality Carved Superb Condition Wooden Corpus Christi on Crucifix, 1900s
Located in Lisse, NL
Antique Arts & Crafts crucifix with stunning hand carved details and an amazing patina. This remarkable and good size sculpture of Christ (who has just bowed His head) on the cross is different to almost all others. The artist who hand-sculpted this impressive work of religious art has created a church relic that, in our view, is second to none. And that is because this uniquely hand carved corpus comes with numerous stylized details that are unlike anything you will have ever seen. It is a style of carving that is very recognizable for being from the European Arts and Crafts...
