Description
Polychrome wooden Christ, Colonial School, 18th century Carved and polychromed wood. Dimensions: 48 cm x 43 cm x 7 cm. An image of Christ crucified, designed for a processional cross or devotional altar, featuring a strikingly expressive face and stylised anatomy in the tradition of popular religious art. The polychromy emphasises the wounds and rivulets of blood with delicate reddish touches that contrast with the pallor of the body. The loincloth, rendered with soft folds, and the solemn, hieratic quality of the figure—characteristic of 19th-century Spanish religious sculpture—are particularly noteworthy. The work reflects an intense spiritual charge and a formal language inherited from late Baroque models, whilst retaining a strong devotional impact. 48 x 43 x 7 cm.
