About the Item

Titled "Courage at Calvary" 18th century Italian figure of Christ mounted on an 18th century corona (crown) fragment with antique hand-forged nails and citrine points. The missing left arm of the Christ has been replaced with an original, hand-forged 18th century nail. This piece is inspired by the gospel stories of the crucifixion of Christ. This piece is being exhibited with Museo Casa di Dante in Florence, Italy for an exhibition titled, Il Coraggio e la Paura. The exhibition is hosted by the Society of Fine Arts - Artists' Circle “Dante's House.” In English the title translates to “Courage and Fear.” The collection is 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 hand-carved figure of Christ and Italian crown is originally 18th century. The Italian cross is preserved and transformed into a figurative, contemporary work of art. With the combination of organic elements, the church artifact becomes a sculptural work of historic and organic significance.
