This magnificent Crucifix captures the supreme moment of the Passion with touching realism and profound reverence. The sculpture, entirely handcrafted according to the centuries-old tradition of Val Gardena, depicts Jesus Christ in a pose of supreme suffering and acceptance.
Admire the polychrome finish that enhances anatomical details: from strained musculature to the vibrant red of wounds and blood, down to the crown of thorns adorning the tilted head. The loincloth, expertly draped, is embellished with shades reminiscent of precious gold leaf (as seen in the polychrome finish), in stark contrast to the sober elegance of the cross. The ends of the cross are crafted with an elegant trilobed motif suggesting a refined Baroque stylistic influence, lending a sense of completeness and sacredness to the symbol.
Each crucifix is a unique work of art, hand-painted by expert artists to bring maximum pathos and devotion into your home or church. The available finish variations (from natural to striking gold leaf) allow you to choose the perfect piece for your environment.
The choice of material is made with the utmost care, ensuring the durability and beauty of the sculpture over time. Made of fine maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm, which allows for minute detail definition, and carved from sturdy linden wood for sizes 60 cm and larger, this Crucifix is an imposing and enduring symbol of faith, an authentic expression of South Tyrolean craftsmanship.
