18th Century Italian Double-Mounted Cross on Hematite with Pyrite Inclusions

About the Item

Sculptural 18th century Italian gilded double-mounted cross on hematite with pyrite inclusions and adorned with pyrite rosettes. A matching smaller cross is mounted onto the bigger cross to create a contemporary, 4-dimensional effect. The pyrite rosettes are placed at each point and the center of the cross. The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she transformed the pieces and the period shows that the Italian crosses are originally 18th century. The Italian crosses are preserved and transformed into a figurative, contemporary work of art. With the combination of organic elements, the church artifact becomes a sculptural work of historic and organic significance. Interi is known for its precious collections of sculptural ecclesiastical artifacts. Recently Interi exhibited The Crucifix Collection with Museo de' Medici in Florence, Italy which just closed April 21st, 2024.
