Oil On Canvas “jesus Christ Crucifix” - XVII Century.

JESUS ​​CHRIST CRUCIFIXE Oil on canvas (without frame) In the painting, on a completely black background, appears: Jesus Christ crucified is presented with his eyes closed, his head crowned with thorns bent forward, his straight hair covering the major part part of her face and her nailed feet. The arms draw a subtle curve, rather than forming a triangle. The white thong serves to emphasize the nudity of the body. The dark backdrop is reminiscent of the darkness that descends on the earth from the sixth hour to the ninth hour of Good Friday, but it is also a way to isolate the crucified Christ and transform him into a universal image. In the painting there is an inscription placed on the upper end of the post of the cross of Jesus, called titulus crucis, which reads: INRI "IESUS NAZARAENUS REX IUDAEROUM" Translated: "Jesus the Nazarene, the king of Jews "Measures: cm. 56 x 41 Period: - 17th century The shipping costs for France (colissimo followed) are 25 euros, please contact us for all other destinations.
