Resurrected Christ In Polychrome Carved Wood Gilded With 17th Century Leaf

Here is a resurrected Christ from the 17th century, it has its original gilding, a superb drapery and is of beautiful workmanship. As for the condition, note a little wear to the gilding, we point out that the left forearm is missing, the feet are broken, the drapery on the back of the right hand is broken, it is barely holding. However, this Christ remains in a generally presentable condition. Throughout Antiquity and the first two thirds of the Middle Ages, the Resurrection is represented by images faithfully inspired by the text of the Gospel itself: soldiers sleeping near an open tomb, holy women arriving in the presence of an angel. From the end of the 13th century, Western artists began to let their imagination run wild and designed scenes that no witness is supposed to have ever seen: Christ triumphantly emerging from the tomb, Jesus raised in the air. Our many photos allow you to appreciate the quality of this Christ. For the condition, please detail the photos. Do not hesitate to zoom. The photos are an integral part of the description.
