Sculpture, Christ aux outrages - XVIIIème - 24 cm - Polychrome wood

Christ at the Mockings – Polychrome carved wood – Religious popular art, late 17th century Devotional sculpture in carved and polychromed wood depicting Christ at the mockings, seated, hands bound in front of him and head inclined in a posture of resignation. At his feet, a skull evoking Golgotha reinforces the symbolic dimension of the representation. Christ is depicted as seated on a stylized masonry chair, dressed in the perizonium and crowned with thorns. The deliberately expressive treatment of the face and anatomy, as well as the direct and vigorous carving, place this work within the tradition of European folk religious art. The piece retains an old polychromy with small flaws and visible losses that give the sculpture an authentic patina and a particularly evocative character. The reverse and the base show old hand-carving as well as wear marks consistent with the object's age. Photos are an integral part of the object's description and complement its presentation.
