Unique and antique alabaster and bronze sculpture of our Lord Jesus by G. Parentani. This gorgeous and sizeable sculpture is signed on the back by Belgian sculptor G. Parentani who is clearly of Italian descent. With most of our antique alabaster light fixtures originating from Italy (because that is where in Europe alabaster was won), we are familiar with Italians being known for their skills when it comes to hand carving alabaster in particular. This workmanship had literally been handed down to new generations for centuries. That is one of the reasons why this antique sculpture by Parentani too has such amazing and realistic details. Especially the serene facial expression and the superbly carved beard and hair of Christ reveal that this sculpture is the work of a master carver. Mind you, all we found on the worldwide web are plaster castings of Parentani's work and this clearly is a one of a kind original. What makes this church relic extra special is the gilt bronze torso with the holy heart symbol and the perfect condition, Flemish marble base. To have found this 1920s sculpture in such remarkable condition was like the cherry on the proverbial pie, because even with the minor restauration to the nose of Christ this one of a kind antique still is one of the most remarkable bust sculptures of Christ that we have ever seen or sold. Its serene and spiritual look and feel will never go unnoticed and it makes this Christ bust...

Unique and antique sculpture of our Lord Jesus. This gorgeous and practical size sculpture is signed on the back by the artist, but unfortunately we cannot 'decipher' his/her name. Thanks to its practical size this work of religious art is ideal for display at home as well. Especially the serene face and the waving hair of this hand carved holy heart sculpture are beautiful to look at. Anyone who has ever attempted to create anything out of a hard material like marble understands that this rare bust can only be the work of a skilled and seasoned artisan. To have found this circa 1920 sculpture in such remarkable condition was like the cherry on the proverbial pie. The perfectly geometrical and flat Art Deco base makes this sculpture stand very strong and stabile. Its serene and spiritual look and feel will never go unnoticed and it makes this Christ bust...
