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 feel to the touch, as with the visual impression, is truly extraordinary, with the perception of a body still alive. Analyzing the sculpture from a compositional perspective, the emphasis on the twisted neck muscles, as well as the strong facial features, differentiates it from more common renditions, which present a figure with a slender, spare face, sometimes almost emaciated, to amplify the message of suffering. Moreover, in most sculptures, he is shown dead, with the face cast downward, emaciated, resigned and defeated in accepting his sacrifice. In this case he is depicted alive, deliberately strong and mighty, with his gaze, although filled with 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 been able to optimally express his sculptural abilities with an incredibly vigorous work where the plastic result reaches the highest levels. This is a terracotta sculpture of international caliber and of absolute museum-quality. The shipment is tracked and sent with precise anti-shock packaging inside a custom wooden crate. Subject: Bust of a suffering Christ. Detail: On the base is the inscription "INRI" (Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum). Material: Polychrome terracotta. Context: The subject is typical of Christian iconography linked to the Passion. Work from a private collection in an ecclesiastical setting.
