Corpus Christi Bronze 1600s Renaissance Figure | 5”

£985

An expressive bronze figure of the crucified Christ, distinguished by its elongated proportions, finely articulated anatomy and deeply inclined head. Christ is represented with outstretched arms and crossed feet, his slender body conveying both physical suffering and spiritual resignation. The carefully modelled musculature, delicately worked hair and beard, and finely folded perizonium demonstrate an accomplished sculptural conception. The bronze retains a dark, warm patina with lighter highlights and visible traces of earlier surface treatment. Pierced hands and feet indicate its original attachment to a crucifix, while the modern metal stand allows the figure to be appreciated as an independent work of devotional sculpture. The composition reflects the artistic traditions of European Renaissance religious bronzes, combining anatomical observation with restrained emotional intensity. 

General: The overall height  with the stand is 6.9 inches (17.5 cm). The overall dimensions of the Corpus Christi figure are a height of 5 inches (12.5 cm), and a width of 5 inches (12.5 cm).

Condition: This Corpus Christi is in good condition - surface wear and patination consistent with handling and age; traces of earlier finish to the reverse. Original cross absent. Mounted on a modern gallery display stand. Please see the enclosed images
