About the Item
Sculptural 18th century Italian gilded crucifix with calcite crystals and baroque pearls.
The calcite crystals are from Elmwood Mine, Tennessee. It is an example of the world's finest crystallized calcite. It is unequaled by those from any other part of the world (referenced from the "American Mineral Treasure" book, pg. 337). The piece is mounted on the calcite crystals in matrix and an original 18th century Italian gilded wood base. The piece also has a 18th century gilded figure of Christ. Behind the figure is a halo create from baroque pearls and the hands and feet are adorned with baroque pearls and calcite crystals.
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 crucifix is preserved and transformed into a figurative, contemporary work of art. With the combination of the precious minerals, the church artifact becomes a sculptural work of historic and organic significance.
Interi is known for it's precious collections of sculptural ecclesiastical artifacts. Recently Interi's Crucifix Collection exhibited with Museo de' Medici in Florence, Italy which just closed April 21st, 2024.

- Crucifix on Calvary, Called Plague of Christ, France, Early 18th CenturyLocated in Milan, ITCrucifix 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.
