Corpus Christi Sculpture | Antique 1700s | 23.8" / 60.5 cm
An outstanding Southern Europe (Italy - Austria) Baroque 18th Century Corpus Christi (Body of Christ) wooden sculpture. Christ is depicted with his head inclined forward, his eyes lowered and his arms raised in a dramatic crucifixion pose. The sculpture displays the expressive religious character and anatomical stylisation associated with Southern European Baroque devotional carving. Originally intended for mounting upon a crucifix, the figure is now presented independently on a discreet contemporary metal stand, allowing its sculptural qualities to be appreciated in the round.

The overall dimensions of the Corpus Christi statue are a height of 23.8 inches (60.5 cm), a height from the toes to the head of 20.1 inches (51 cm), a width of 15.2 inches (38.5 cm) and the metal base is 7.9 inches (15 x 15 cm) wide.
