18th Century Italian Figure of Christ with Smoky Quartz Crystals in Coral

About the Item

Sculptural 18th century Italian figure of Christ on brown, aged coral, adorned with smoky quartz crystals, mounted on a polished agate base. The figure of Christ was originally part of a crucifix from a church in Tuscany. The smoky quartz replaces the arms on the figure of Christ as the original arms had broken off due to age and distress. Together the elements create a figurative, contemporary work of historic significance. This piece exhibited with Museo Casa di Dante for an exhibition titled, Il Coraggio e la Paura. The exhibition was hosted by the Society of Fine Arts - Artists' Circle “Dante's House.” In English the title translates to “Courage and Fear.” The collection was presented at Museo Casa di Dante, a museum that honors the history and life of Dante Alighieri. It was formerly the famous Italian poet’s home and is now committed to sharing Dante’s literary work and important works of art.  The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the Italian fragment is originally 18th century.
