Description and details
Beautiful crucifix composed of a fine Christ carved in natural ivory, mounted on a gilded wooden cross and inserted eentro an important carved and gilded frame. The Christ, of remarkable quality of execution, presents a fine and realistic modeling: special attention is paid to the anatomy, with accurate rendering of the muscles and veins, as well as to the intense and collected expression of the face. The posture, with recumbent head and outstretched body, harks back to late 18th-century models. The cross and frame, in carved and gilded wood, are embellished with Baroque decorative motifs and culminate at the top with angelic heads. The red velvet background strongly enhances the plastic presence of Christ. Accompanied by CITES documentation in accordance with current regulations (No. IT/CE/2025/BO/00260).
