Round Bronze Wall Plaque Depicting a Suffering Christ in Tears by Sylvain Norga
About the Item
Small yet impressive, circular bronze sculpture of Jesus, in deep relief.
Having sold many works of religious art we immediately noticed the tears that are on this Christ wall plaque. This 1920s Art Deco plaque by renowned artist Sylvain Norga of Belgium is one of not too many sculptures of Christ in tears. Thinking about the absence of emotional expression on most of Christ's pictures and sculptures it came to me how he hardly ever resisted to what happened to him and also how he hardly ever seemed to have complained. Maybe what makes a person truly spiritual is when he or she surrenders to life (as Eckhart Tolle calls it). If you don't (feel the need to) complain about or dwell on what cannot be changed then you won't suffer. Finally, everyone who has ever been overwhelmed by emotions, knows that sometimes we ourselves don't know exactly why we are in tears. We therefor will not even try to attempt guessing why Jesus in this bronze wall sculpture is in tears. If this signed-by-Norga work of religious art stirs your soul then maybe you should be its next custodian. This also makes a unique holiday season gift for a devout friend or loved one.
