This sculpture captures the culminating moment of Jesus Christ's sacrifice with touching and profound serenity. The Corpus Christi is placed on a straight cross of light wood, whose visible natural grain enhances its authenticity and discreet beauty. The figure of Christ is sculpted with measured realism: the musculature is defined, the ribs hinted at, and the expression on his face, with his half-closed eyes, conveys a sense of acceptance and peace despite the suffering.
The loincloth, a detail of great artistic impact, is painted in chromatic contrast between a deep dark blue and a golden ochre yellow, both worked to highlight its sculpted folds. The mastery is revealed in the details: from the wounds on the hands and feet, symbolized by delicate red color spots, to the meticulous crown of thorns encircling the inclined head, and the shining gold "INRI" plaque placed at the top.
True to the artisanal heritage of Val Gardena, this Crucifix is made of precious maple wood, a material of choice for sculptures up to 56 cm, which guarantees exceptional detail definition. Available in sizes 30 cm and 40 cm and in various color finishes (Natural, Colored, Gold Leaf, and Three-layered), each piece is a tangible testament to South Tyrolean sculptural excellence, entirely crafted and finished by hand.
