Discover the spiritual intensity of this artistic Crucifix, a work that embodies the profound sculptural tradition of Val Gardena. The artifact captures the culminating moment of the Passion with extraordinary emotional force and meticulous attention to detail.
The sculpture stands out for its powerful material contrast: Jesus' body, defined by a smooth and warm finish, expresses a touching anatomical realism, emphasizing the ribs and muscle tension. The face is reclined in serene surrender, with closed eyes, framed by dark hair and a dark green band that evokes the intertwined crown of thorns.
Christ is nailed to an imposing cross, whose surface is expertly crafted to simulate the rough bark and deep veins of raw, aged wood. This rustic texture enhances the delicacy and precision of the sacred figure. Details such as the embossed INRI tablet and the small dark spots reminiscent of the Stigmata and the wound in the side give depth and truth to the work.
This Crucifix, measuring 20 cm, is made from a precious combination of resin and wood powder. This composition gives the sculpture superior resistance and allows master craftsmen to maintain impeccable definition of every detail, from the draping of the loincloth to the features of the face, guaranteeing a work that will last over time.
