About the Item

One of a kind, near-lifesize wooden corpus of Christ. The meaning of this antique sculpture obviously needs no explanation. However, not everybody looks at the corpus of Christ with the same ideas and emotions. And each individual may also have different emotions and ideas depending on his or her state of mind at a certain moment in the day or at a certain time in his or her life. Besides that, every artist/sculptor may also have his or her own ideas of what he or she is trying to express and communicate. What is important to us, is that a work of religious art speaks to us. If it speaks to us then almost always there will also be someone else who sees the beauty, deeper meaning, quality, style and uniqueness. Apart from its truly large size this particular hand carved corpus of Christ has the best ever details when it comes to the human anatomy. One could say that whomever sculpted this piece had a god given talent, because (especially) for a piece this size the quality of the carvings and therefor the realistic look and feel of this corpus is right up there with the work of some of the old masters. This marvelous church sculpture of Christ also stands out for its exceptional and calm facial features. It is often said that one can also recognize the level of the workmanship of a painter or a sculptor by the quality in the detials of the hands and feet. Unfortunately most of the fingers of this top quality carved antique sculpture are missing, but the ones that are there are indeed exceptional. Fortunately the feet are almost entirely intact and they too are truly great. At some point in time this work of religious art was 'leached' and we therefor don't know if this piece originally was polychrome painted or patinated. Given the quality of the carvings and the way it acquired its new patina, we feel it has given this amazing corpus a truly ancient look and feel. Almost as if it was a weathered Renaissance original. We have owned this antique for some six years and He will be missed, but now have decided it is time that He should be worshipped again in a house of prayer. Perhaps in a church or a monastery. This unique antique was once part of a very large church crucifix, but with the one strong hook that is in the back (see image 15), safely mounting this divine corpus on your wall will take no more than a few minutes either. Mind you, if this unique and top quality carved antique church corpus had been completely intact, it would have cost at least three times our price. Whether this Christian antique will be worshipped in a church, monastery, chapel or in a private home, its workmanship, quality, beauty and deeper meaning will never fail to impress. This antique and best quality carved Christ sculpture is great value for money. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 62.5 x 53.2 x 12.2 inches. Weight: 28 kilogram or 61.7 pounds lbs. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).
