Large Christ in walnut wood , France 17th or 18th century

About the Item

Large Christ on the Cross carved in the round in walnut wood. With great realism, the sculptor has used the wood grain on the bust and to emphasise the shape of the legs. The right part of the hair falls and is detached from the shoulders, in a great master stroke by the sculptor. The cross and most of the fingers are missing. French work, undoubtedly from the centre, 17th or 18th century.

  • Saint George slaying the dragon, Flanders, 17th century
    Located in PARIS, FR
    Carved alabaster group, with base, representing Saint George slaying the dragon. Flanders, 17th c. Missing horse's tail, chips on the base and gluing (with original parts). Traces of polychromy and gold repairs. Beautiful, very expressive ensemble. In a legend, Saint George—a soldier venerated in Christianity—defeats a dragon. The story goes that the dragon originally extorted tribute from villagers. When they ran out of livestock and trinkets for the dragon, they started giving up a human tribute once a year. This was acceptable to the villagers until a princess was chosen as the next offering. The saint thereupon rescues the princess and kills the dragon. The narrative was first set in Cappadocia in the earliest sources of the 11th and 12th centuries, but transferred to Libya in the 13th-century Golden Legend.
