17th Century Cricifix Boxwood

About the Item

17th century Crucifix Measures: Boxwood, 42 cm high x 8 x 14 The sculpture depicting the crucified Christ examined here represents a refined example of seventeenth-century cabinetry in boxwood. The figure of Christ, now dead on the cross, is part of a precious artistic choreography with the structure of the cross and its pedestal, both decorated with tortoiseshell mirrors, ivory threads to emphasize the structure of the cross and elements in ebonized and carved wood to highlight the architectural structure of the pedestal. The departure of Christ is evident from the lowered head, from the open hands in abandonment and the now limply hanging feet. The lower part of the torso, the abdomen, taut and contracted, seems to refer to the last breath exhaled, as well as the thong, a thin piece of fabric, is moved by an invisible breeze that ripples the fabric with those typical tangled draperies and folds of baroque art, made up of full and empty spaces.
