18th Century Italian Cross with Smoky Quartz Crystals and Druzy Petrified Wood
About the Item
18th century Italian brown and gilded cross adorned with smoky quartz crystals and druzy petrified wood. The smoky quartz crystals are from Madagascar and druzy petrified wood from the United States. The smoky quartz crystals are put together to emulate a figure of Christ on the cross. It is mounted on a smoky quartz crystal cluster.
The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she transformed the piece and the period shows that the Italian crucifix is originally 18th century.
The brown and gilded Italian cross is preserved and transformed into a figurative, contemporary work of art. With the combination of the precious minerals, the church artifact becomes a sculptural work of historic and organic significance.
This piece is currently exhibiting in the Museo de' Medici in Florence, Italy as part of The Crucifix Collection. The Museo de' Medici is located in the monumental Rotonda Brunelleschi which is one of the most extraordinary buildings in Florence. In addition to preserving the history of the Medici dynasty, the museum is also committed to exhibiting precious collections of works of art, historical relics, original documents, faithful reconstructions and multimedia installations.
