About the Item
Striking French Mid-Century ceramic crucifix, France, 1950s.
A beautifully modeled piece with exceptional design and quality, showcasing the sculptural and expressive ceramic traditions associated with mid-century French studios.
The crucifix features a strong architectural silhouette and a richly textured glaze, giving it both spiritual presence and decorative impact. On the back, the piece is engraved “Vallauris”, indicating production in the renowned ceramic center of the French Riviera—home to some of the most celebrated ceramic artists of the period.
This finely crafted object works as both a devotional piece and a distinctive example of French mid-century ceramic art, ideal for interiors mixing modernism, wabi-sabi, and artisanal European craftsmanship.

Unique and Large Crucifix with a Rare Size Hand Crafted Ceramic Corpus of Christ
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique and artistic crucifix from the European Midcentury Modern era.
Over the centuries the life and teachings of Christ have inspired many an artist to create His image in just as many ways as there were artist. In more recent decades the way in which Christ on the cross has been portrayed has changed significantly from how He was portrayed in previous centuries. Just like Christ was portrayed very differently in the early 20th century as opposed to how He was seen and portrayed in, for example, the Baroque era. And this way will keep changing as evolve. Just like with the other Styles, this modernist version of Christ either speaks to you or it does not and the way in which different people will see and experience this Christ will be very different too. That ofcourse also is the job of every artist, to make you think about an artwork and make you feel something at the same time. Not only is this unique modernist sculpture different in design from most Christ sculptures you will have ever seen, it also is all hand-crafted in a very rare material. This ceramic work of religious art also comes with a mild glazing and the unique elongated design makes it even more modern and 'experimental'. Thanks to the perfect metal hook on the back, safely mounting this piece is much easier than one would expect. If you already have a place and space in mind for Him then maybe you should be this sculpture's next custodian.
Mind you, our fair price for this unique and very large, Midcentury crucifix...
