About the Item
his terracotta sculpture represents Saint John of the Cross, a significant figure in the history of Christian mysticism and reformer of the Carmelite Order. The sculpture is finely crafted in terracotta, polychromed and painted with delicate attention to detail, characteristic of French religious art from the 17th to 18th centuries. The figure is shown in a contemplative posture, wearing the traditional habit, with the Cross of the Trinitarians prominently displayed on his chest, symbolizing his spiritual devotion and sacrificial life. The polychromy enhances the expressive features of the face and hands, giving the sculpture a lifelike presence. This piece likely served as a devotional object, intended for private worship or a small chapel, reflecting the Baroque period’s emphasis on emotion, piety, and realism in sacred art.
