Large copper bathing jar - 18th C

Exceptional large 17th C Spanish Corpus Christi

Exceptional and large 17th C Spanish Corpus Christi. Made of limewood and delicately sculpted with high quality details. The elongated, thin and stretched anatomical features contribute to the overall feeling of fragility of this Christ. The corpus has beautiful rests of Polychrome, paint, cracks in the wood, and some traces of time. The anatomical elements such as the ribs, toes, tendons, and knees are very finely sculpted for such a large statue. The head and face are expressive thanks to the detailing of the hair, eyes, and mouth with teeth, which is very rare. The forged elements, such as the nail through the feet and the original suspension bracket with forged nails, are still present. Parts of the old connecting plugs to the arms are also still present. This version of a corpus christ is representing a suffering christ with serene expression.

Saint Peter as first pope - early 16th C

Late gothic wooden (limewood) sculpture of Saint Peter as first pope. Representation of Saint Peter crowned with the papal tiara. Normally right hand is blessing the observer, while the left holds an impressive key, an iconographic attribute of the saint entrusted with guarding the gates of heaven, this sculpture is missing hands because of the iconoclasm in the 16th C. He wears a tunic and robe that falls over his knees in several folds, with traces of colour in red and gold tones (the latter mostly on the tiara, beard and key). The figure’s hieratic position is well suited to the image of Peter, the ‘bedrock’ of the Christian church, reflecting the dignity bestowed on him by the fact that he was the first Supreme Pontiff. Origin Northern France, between 1500 - 1550.
