The Body of Christ on a Curved Cross is a masterpiece of wood carving that combines spiritual depth with meticulous technical execution. This representation captures the final moment of the Passion, offering an image of powerful and moving realism, emphasizing the humanity of the sacrifice.
The sculpture is characterized by detailed anatomy that highlights suffering and emaciation: every rib, every muscle is sculpted with mastery. The colored finish further enhances the drama, with dark red accents simulating the wounds of the stigmata, the crown of thorns, and the spilled blood, contrasting with the pinkish-beige tone of the skin. The reclined face, closed eyes, and expression of surrender invite deep contemplation.
The cross, which gives the model its name, is made of natural wood, with a rustic and imposing appearance, with visible veins and grooves that enhance its authenticity. The luster of the bright gold "INRI" scroll, placed above the head, adds a focal point of solemn dignity to the work.
Faithful to the artisan tradition of Val Gardena, this crucifix is hand-carved and finished by our expert sculptors. The selected material varies to ensure maximum stability and detail in every size: it is made of precious maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm, and sturdy linden wood for larger sizes, ensuring in every case a durable and high-quality work.
