About the Item

Small yet impressive, circular bronze sculpture of Jesus, in deep relief. Having sold many works of religious art we immediately noticed the tears that are on this Christ wall plaque. This 1920s Art Deco plaque by renowned artist Sylvain Norga of Belgium is one of not too many sculptures of Christ in tears. Thinking about the absence of emotional expression on most of Christ's pictures and sculptures it came to me how he hardly ever resisted to what happened to him and also how he hardly ever seemed to have complained. Maybe what makes a person truly spiritual is when he or she surrenders to life (as Eckhart Tolle calls it). If you don't (feel the need to) complain about or dwell on what cannot be changed then you won't suffer. Finally, everyone who has ever been overwhelmed by emotions, knows that sometimes we ourselves don't know exactly why we are in tears. We therefor will not even try to attempt guessing why Jesus in this bronze wall sculpture is in tears. If this signed-by-Norga work of religious art stirs your soul then maybe you should be its next custodian. This also makes a unique holiday season gift for a devout friend or loved one. Measures: Diameter x depth 10.4 x 4.33 inches.

Museum Quality Bronze of Christ Wall Plaque Sculpture "Jesus Carrying the Cross"
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunningly powerful and meaningful work of religious art. With works of religious art being one of our specialties, over the decades we have sold quite a few special antiques in this field. With this bronze antique the artist clearly shows us a fragment out of one of the most famous scenes that took place in the history of mankind. Christ has already been beaten, mocked, given a wreath of thorns and having to carry the enormous cross. As you can see the quality of the details and the workmanship is excellent, but the scene and its meaning ofcourse is even more impressive. Please notice how particularly the facial features reveil the peaceful state of being that lies underneath the exterior of this Christ sculpture...
