17th-century polychrome wooden statue of Christ, Italy

This sculpture depicts a crucified Christ carved from wood and painted in polychrome. The work displays exceptional sculptural quality down to the finest details. The work follows the model of the Christus Patiens (Suffering Christ), characterized by a bowed head, closed eyes, and a marked attention to the anatomical details of the torso to emphasize the humanity and sacrifice of Jesus. It is a wooden sculpture with traces of the original polychromy, showing signs of wear and color loss consistent with the object’s age. Works with similar characteristics are often attributed to workshops in central or northern Italy (such as the Genoa area) from the Baroque period. Height: 33 cm - Arm span: 25 cm
