Top quality and mint condition bust sculpture from the early 1900s with maker's name. This incredibly well carved bust of Jesus is impressive both for its quality and its large size. With His head bowed down like in His final hours on the cross this design is obviously perfect for displaying on a tall stand. In this case a tall and ebonized wooden pedestal was used and thanks to the contrasting colors of this bust and its pedestal they are like a match made in heaven. The master sculptor / artist could not have done a better job in hand carving the exhausted yet serene facial expression of Christ. The large size of this bust combined with the rare sandstone material makes this work of religious art look extra ancient. Because of its size this archetype of Christianity can also be seen and worshipped from further away. Unfortunately we cannot read the name of the skilled artisan who signed this unique sculpture. Thanks to its amazing quality, its excellent condition, its deeper meaning and its powerful presence this work of religious art will never fail to impress, no matter where you decide to have it on display. For it to have come our way felt like a blessing and to be able to offer it to the 1stdibs community in this amazing condition is an honour for us.

Dimension with frame: 35 x 29,7 x 3,3 cm. A finely executed miniature devotional painting depicting the Madonna tenderly embracing the Christ Child. Executed in oil on copper and dating from the late 18th to early 19th century, the composition displays the intimate scale and luminous surface characteristic of copper paintings. The Virgin is shown wearing a deep blue mantle highlighted with delicate gilded details and crowned by a circle of stars, while the Christ Child rests affectionately in her arms. The work reflects the enduring influence of Baroque religious imagery and evokes the devotional paintings produced throughout the Spanish world during the colonial period, while remaining firmly rooted in the broader Continental European tradition. Its small scale, refined execution, and warm devotional character make it an appealing collector's piece. The painting is presented in an impressive carved and ebonized wooden frame that beautifully complements the richness of the composition. A charming example of late 18th-century religious art, combining devotional intimacy, Baroque sensibility, and the luminous qualities unique to oil on copper. madonna and child, virgin mary, christ child, oil on copper, copper painting, religious painting, devotional painting, catholic art, christian art, sacred art, baroque religious art, baroque devotional painting, continental european school, spanish colonial taste, spanish colonial influence, antique religious artwork, ecclesiastical art, crowned madonna, star crown madonna, virgin and child, christian iconography, late 18th century painting, circa 1800, antique oil on copper, miniature painting, devotional icon, old master style, european religious art, framed religious painting...

Stunning religious wall panel in thick relief with strong hook for easy mounting. For the collectors of stunning antique church relics we are also offering this marvelously hand carved pelican sculpture for wall mounting. The character ascribed to the pelican in this context is nearly as fabulous as that of the phœnix. From a clumsy, gluttonous, piscivorous water-bird, it was by the growth of legends transformed into a mystic emblem of Christ, whom Dante terms "Nostro Pelicano". St. Hieronymus gives the story of the pelican restoring its young ones destroyed by serpents as an illustration of the destruction of man by the old Serpent, and his salvation by the blood of Christ. The pelican in Christian art is an emblem of Jesus Christ, by "whose blood we are healed" and it is also a symbol of charity. Many early painters and carvers mistakenly represented it more similar to an eagle (much like in this antique church relic), and not as a natural pelican which is why most people today still are a bit confused at first when this stunning hand carved, symbolic bird is called a pelican. This striking and all hand carved, symbolic panel was originally part of a church or monastery communion rail...

Crucifix from the mid-1800s with a carved shroud or veil depicting Christ in the base. This unique and remarkable antique crucifix can both be used as a table and as a wall crucifix. Over the decades we have sold a number of unique and very well crafted crucifixes, but never one in the Art Deco style with this combination of materials and techniques. The overall design and size is what stands out first, but the details and the materials are what make this antique work of religious art extraordinary. The relatively large base of this unique crucifix is a work of religious art in its own right. It is almost as if the cross is growing from this beautiful base and the cross itself too comes with a number of superbly inlays details. With their symbolic meaning of birth and resurrection it is obvious why the artist / sculptor so tastefully incorporated them here. Apart from a minor 'lean' to the left, the cross itself too is in excellent condition. If one were to speak of a trinity in this crucifix then the unique base and cross are completed with an equally striking, solid bronze corpus of Christ...
