Peace Depicting the Crucifixion in Dark Patina Bronze 18th Century

About the Item

18th Century. Peace depicting the Crucifixion Dark patina bronze, 21 x 14.5 cm The bronze examined is an ancient peace (in Latin osculum pacis or table pacis), the object of the Christian liturgy. It is a tablet decorated on the front with a sacred scene that was kissed by the priest during the celebration of the mass, and then offered to the kiss of the other officiants and finally of the faithful. It, in use since the thirteenth century, replaced the custom of the ancient kiss of peace, which took place before communion, and which today is the "exchange of a sign of peace" with a handshake. The shape is usually rectangular, with a support on the back to keep it resting in a raised position on the altar, but there are also examples of round shape. The materials used were gold, silver, bronze, ivory or glass, as techniques the embossing, the bas-relief, the engraving or enamel, often used in combination in the same specimen. The iconography represented usually addressed liturgical feasts or saints and the theme of the Passion of Jesus, as in the case analyzed here, where the Crucifixion of Christ is represented. In the center of a trefoil space decorated with elegant plant racemes the crucified Christ is represented with his arms stretched forcibly on the cross, his legs crossing on two feet pierced by a single nail, and his head, reclined and suffering, crowned with thorns. . At the foot of the cross, marked by the INRI insignia, initials of the inscription Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, "Jesus Nazarene King of the Jews", the Madonna takes place, suffering wipes her tears with a handkerchief, and the favorite apostle, John , who reaches his hands as a sign of prayer. The artist's skill in defining the figures is striking, in particular in the rendering of the voluminous draperies and the gestures of the characters which are of great naturalness and intensity. The same subject is depicted on the back of the peace from the beginning of the 16th century, in silver chiseled in gold, by a Lombard workshop, kept at the Museum of the Treasure of the Cathedral of Vigevano.
