About the Item
Exceptional 15th Century Polychromed Wood Crucifix Sculpture from Northern Italy
This rare and exquisite 15th-century hand-carved Corpus Christi is a true masterpiece of devotional art from Northern Italy. Expertly sculpted in polychromed wood, the figure of Christ reveals extraordinary craftsmanship with stunning anatomical precision. Every muscle and sinew is finely rendered with remarkable realism- highlighting the delicate lines, ribs, and the expressive tension of the crucified form.
Standing 70 cm tall and presented on a refined marble pedestal, this sculpture is both a spiritual and artistic statement. The naturalistic posture, gently inclined head, and original Gothic iron nails reflect the skill of a master artisan whose identity, though unknown, left behind a singular, one-of-a-kind work. The loincloth is intricately detailed and tied with sculptural finesse, capturing movement and texture in wood with lifelike accuracy.
What sets this piece apart is not only the artistic quality but also its exceptional condition. Remarkably, it has survived the centuries with no restorations, no missing parts, and remains in untouched, original condition- extremely rare for a wooden work of this age. The polychrome finish retains its deep, aged patina, further emphasising the sacred and historical importance of the sculpture.
Mounted securely on a custom marble base, this piece is ready for display in any refined interior- be it a private collection, sacred space, or an art-focused home. It transcends mere decoration to offer a profound connection to Gothic religious artistry.
A museum-quality devotional sculpture and a striking centrepiece of sacred heritage- truly a collector’s treasure.
Former private collection of an aristocratic family in Central Europe.
