About the Item

Wonderful carved stone sculpture depicting Christ, modeled by a master sculptor in the 15th century, carved entirely by hand. This sculpture is known as Ecce homo. As tradition tells us, "Ecce homo" is the phrase that Pontius Pilate, then Roman governor of Judea, uttered while showing the crowd the scourged Jesus. The sculpture depicts half a bust of Jesus Christ with his arms folded, his face sad and bitter from the wickedness he encountered on Earth. His head is covered with a thick mantle of neck-length hair, with a crown of thorns crowning him that is distinguished by its zigzag workmanship. His nose is very prominent and his mind covered by a thick beard with a mustache. Christ's agonized face hints at the brutality of the human soul, which cannot distinguish the good from the bad, an inestimable plague of humanity. The arms are crossed, but we can clearly see that the wrists have been immobilized with handcuffs, tied in turn by a rope, which also goes to the shoulders. The Christ has a plexiglass display structure that is perfect for the display of this beautiful sculpture. In ancient times, sculptures were shaped and molded in stone, which is what the artist of this sculpture did. The statue is perfect for scholars or lovers of religious art.

Large Antique Hand Carved Sandstone Sculpture, Bust of Christ with Display Stand
Located in Lisse, NL
Top quality and mint condition bust sculpture from the early 1900s with maker's name. This incredibly well carved bust of Jesus is impressive both for its quality and its large size. With His head bowed down like in His final hours on the cross this design is obviously perfect for displaying on a tall stand. In this case a tall and ebonized wooden pedestal was used and thanks to the contrasting colors of this bust and its pedestal they are like a match made in heaven. The master sculptor / artist could not have done a better job in hand carving the exhausted yet serene facial expression of Christ. The large size of this bust combined with the rare sandstone material makes this work of religious art look extra ancient. Because of its size this archetype of Christianity can also be seen and worshipped from further away. Unfortunately we cannot read the name of the skilled artisan who signed this unique sculpture. Thanks to its amazing quality, its excellent condition, its deeper meaning and its powerful presence this work of religious art will never fail to impress, no matter where you decide to have it on display. For it to have come our way felt like a blessing and to be able to offer it to the 1stdibs community in this amazing condition is an honour for us. Our fair price for this museum worthy sculpture again includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.
