18th Century Italian Bronze-Gold Crucifix Mounted on a Crystal Geode

About the Item

18th century Italian bronze-gold crucifix with coordinating gold leaf shells and crystal points mounted on a crystal geode. The gold leaf shells adorn the crucifix and the base of the mineral. The geode crystal was part of a large geode and perfectly matches with the crucifix and gold leaf shells. The shells and crystal points rise out geode to appear as if the piece evolved together over time. The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she transformed the piece and the period shows that the Italian crucifix is originally 18th century. The Italian crosses are 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. Interi is known for its precious collections of sculptural ecclesiastical artifacts. Recently Interi exhibited The Crucifix Collection with Museo de' Medici in Florence, Italy which just closed April 21st, 2024.

Crucifix on Calvary, Called Plague of Christ, France, Early 18th Century
Located in Milan, IT
Crucifix on Calvary, called 'Pestis Christi' or Crucifiix Pestis 'Plague of Christ' or Plague Crucifix). The sculpture is composite, made with heterogeneous materials: wax, wood, papier-mâché. The octagonal base is slightly raised and supports the calvary, symbolized by rocks, from which the crucifix rises, made with intentionally unfinished boards and with marked veins. The depicted Christ is peculiar: he shows scarified skin all over his body. Masterfully crafted in wax. They are the plagues of the plague that Christ, 'Agnus Dei' takes charge of with salvific value, for the salvation of the world. At his feet the ordeal full of symbols: evil (snake) with the apple, the 'Memento mori' of human bones...
