Large Wooden Effigy of Christ (Corpus Christi), German School, 18th – early-19th Century

Item Details

Description

Despite obvious damage and losses, this early Corpus Christi has lost none of its sculptural power.

Sensitive - even if slightly archaic - modeling of the elongated form is typical for the region and 18th-century period. Head, torso and legs carved from a single piece of wood with (now missing) separate arms held in place with large wooden pins or dowels. The remains of one such dowel is held in place with a nail inserted through the front of the figure's shoulder and still present.

Much of the gessoed and polychromed surface remains. The ochre color that trims the loincloth shows evidence of gilding.

A thick iron hanging cleat is embedded at center of the back.

Provenance:
Galerie Arabesque, Stuttgart, Germany
Private Collection, Boston, MA

Condition

The top and back of the head are almost entirely missing. PVA has been used in the interior of the hollowed area to stabilize the rest of the head (pictured). Other losses, abrasions, etc. as detailed in images.
