CRISTO VIVO
Patinated bronze Corpus of Christ (Cristo vivo) with the head bent to the right and a peritoneum tied on the left. In the style of Alessandro Algardi (Bologna 1598-1654 Rome).
Christ is represented here at the moment of his sacrifice, his imploring gaze slightly turned towards the heaven. The subtly serpentine composition of this robust body reinforces the calm dynamism and peaceful power of the Christ figure.
Dimensions : 31,5 cm high, 19,5 cm wide.
Italy, 18th century.
