About the Item

Painted stucco sculpture representing the bust of Christ the Redeemer. Dressed in a red tunic embellished with a gold collar, a blue cloak is draped over the left shoulder. The face is slightly off to the left, the features sharp and gaunt, the gaze melancholy and low, and is framed by the long, almost tousled ringlets. Presented with a molded wooden base, lacquered in black and with gilt inserts, of 17th-century Tuscan manufacture. Subject widely addressed in Florentine workshops between the 15th and 16th centuries, from the example of Andrea del Verrocchio's sculpture for Orsanmichele and in the wake of Savonarola's preaching that had proclaimed "Jesus King of Florence." Well known is the terracotta (from a private collection, formerly the Galleria Antichi Maestri Pittori) that served as a prototype for our sculpture, and of which several versions made from casts are known, mostly in stucco. Among the various specimens is the one preserved at the church of San Michele in Raggiolo (Arezzo), in this case in polychrome terracotta. The almost fanciful revival of verrocchio characters, together with a rather lively and wholly original rendering of expression, have led critics in agreement to identify the author in Andrea Ferrucci, in this case assisted by the workshop. Belonging to a Fiesole family of artists, Andrea was its leading exponent, much sought after both in the Florentine artistic milieu and in that of Naples, the city in which he was active on several occasions between 1487 and 1508.
