Statue, Busto di cristo incoronato di spine - 60 cm - Earthenware

This magnificent bust of Christ crowned with thorns, with its dramatic expressive force and with the extraordinary details of its anatomy, conveys a unique emotion. The sensation to the touch, as well as the visual one, is truly extraordinary, with the perception of a body still alive. Analyzing the sculpture from a compositional point of view, the emphasis of the neck muscles in torsion, as well as the strong features of the face, differentiate it from more common realizations, which present a figure with a slender, gaunt face, sometimes almost emaciated, to amplify the message of suffering. Furthermore, in most sculptures, it is shown dead, with the face down, emaciated, resigned and defeated in accepting its sacrifice. In this case it is depicted alive, deliberately strong and powerful, with the gaze, though full of pain, still proud and aware of His Divine power. It is the image of Christ Pantocrator, Lord Almighty and ruler of the world. The Artist has thus had the opportunity to express his sculptural abilities optimally with a work of incredible vigor where the plastic result reaches the highest levels. This is a terracotta sculpture of international stature and of absolute museum quality. The shipment is traceable and travels with careful anti-shock packaging inside a custom-made wooden crate. Subject: Bust of suffering Christ. Detail: On the base there is the inscription "INRI" (Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum). Material: Polychrome terracotta.
