19thC Terracotta "Christus Consolator" Sculpture after Thorvaldsen R&T Magdeburg

About the Item

Large 19th Century German Terracotta "Christus Consolator" Sculpture After Thorvaldsen, Scagliola Finish. This exquisite 19th-century German terracotta sculpture represents Jesus Christ in the iconic “Christus Consolator” pose, faithfully inspired by Bertel Thorvaldsen’s celebrated neoclassical original. Crafted by R. & T. of Magdeburg (stamped beneath the base), this rare devotional piece features a hand-painted scagliola finish that beautifully imitates polished marble — a technique prized for its rich, variegated appearance. Standing at 23.5 inches tall, this statue commands attention with its serene expression, flowing robe, and outstretched arms — symbolizing comfort and divine invitation. A powerful religious figure with timeless emotional resonance, perfect for altars, chapels, or classic European interiors. The surface bears some age-appropriate craquelure and hairline marks, consistent with antique terracotta, and enhancing the authenticity and charm of the piece. Ideal for collectors of sacred art, 19th-century religious sculpture, or Grand Tour-style decor. Rare to find in this size and condition, particularly with the original faux-marble (scagliola) finish intact. This piece stands out for both its substantial scale and historical significance as a devotional object inspired by one of Europe's most iconic religious sculptures. Our price for this stunning and one of a kind sculpture includes perfect packing (in a custom made box) and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 3 to 5 days.

Museum Quality Hand Crafted Bronze Corpus of Jesus Christ fr Wall Mounting 19thC
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunning, one of a kind bronze corpus of Christ. The meaning of this antique sculpture obviously needs no explanation. However, not everybody looks at the corpus of Christ with the same ideas and emotions. And each individual may also have different emotions and ideas depending on his or her state of mind at a certain moment in the day or at a certain time in his or her life. Besides that, every artist/sculptor may also have his or her own ideas of what he or she is trying to express and communicate. What is important to us, is that a work of religious art speaks to us. If it speaks to us then almost always there will also be someone else who sees the beauty, deeper meaning, quality, style and uniqueness. This particular corpus stands out for its exceptional physical details and its painful facial features. We also rarely seen an antique Christ sculpture...
