About the Item
Carved wood depicting the resurrection of Christ
ORIGIN : SOUTHERN NETHERLANDS, ANTWERP
PERIOD : EARLY 16th CENTURY
Height : 67.5 cm
Length : 57 cm
Oakwood
Provenance : Collection of Maurice Larminet (1883-1968), Mons-en-Baroeulbois
This event on which is founded the Christian doctrine follows the cycle of the Passion and is at the heart of theological discourses. Three days after the burying of Christ, the holy women (the number varies from one gospel to another) went to the tomb only to find it empty. To make the disappearance even more miraculous Saint Matthew adds that Roman soldiers were guarding the tomb (Matt 27, 62-66).
Christ is depicted standing, with the left leg out of the tomb. The beard is delicately trimmed and the body half covered by a heavy shroud. The revealed torso emphasizes the physical and humane reality of the resurrected body. The scar of the spear is visible on His flank marking His Passion.
The pyramidal composition raises Christ to a prominent position. He stands above the viewers as above the two soldiers flanking the grave. One of them is still asleep. They are stunned by the miracle that just happened. Their movements contrast with the calm authority of Christ.
The soldiers’ armours and their expressive faces suggest this sculpture was made during the early 16th century. The same clues point at an artist who would originates from the Southern Netherlands. This carved wood probably belonged to a larger ensemble illustrating the scenes of the life and Passion of Christ.

Wood Sculpture Depicting John the Baptist
Located in Saint-Ouen, FR
This wood scultpure showing fine traces of polychromy depicts John the Baptist, one the Old Testament’s last prophets and the first martyr of the New Testament. He is easily recognizable with the lamb he is carrying in his left hand. The way the artist has carved the face exudes a spiritual strenght inherited from previous centuries.
Description
Saint John the Baptist is depicted bare feet, seated in a hieratic manner. His elongated face is marked by a beard and a moustache. The straight nose and wide eyes indicate a Spanish origin. This asumption is reaffirmed by the Saint’s resigned expression.
His parted hair frames his face while uncovering his ears.
He wears a round collar red-orange tunic, draped onto the body and belted at the waist. A flap of his green coat covers his knees and falls down in stylized pleats.
Following iconographic rules Saint John the Baptist is pointing with his right hand the lamb seated...

VIRGIN OF CALVARY
ORIGIN : ITALY
PERIOD : SECOND HALF 13th CENTURY
Height : 75 cm
Length : 19 cm
Depth : 13 cm
Polychrome wood carved in the round
This rare sculpture of a Virgin of Calvary originally belonged to an ensemble depicting the Crucifixion. The Virgin would be accompanied by a sculpture of the apostle John, both flanking the Christ. Depictions of Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus could complete the ensemble.
The portrayal of the Descent from the Cross had to be a touching and moving scene for the viewer. Quite rare during the 10th and 11th centuries this particular scene of the Passion was very much in favour during the 12th century before other scenes took over in turn.
Mary is standing with her head slightly tilted to her right shoulder. In a gesture of intercession she raises her left hand – note the long and delicate fingers – towards the missing Christ while with her right hand she holds her cloak around her elbow. Those calm and restrained movements break with the hieratism of Romanesque sculpture...
