Description

A fine work of devotion, this ivory set from the late 18th and early 19th centuries is set against a red woven background, as befits a symbol of the Savior: The thirty pieces of silver paid to Judas for his betrayal, the lantern of the guards who came to arrest him, the seamless tunic, the soldiers' dice, casting lots for Christ's garments, St Peter's cockerel.
And above all, the Sun and Moon, who, according to the will of the Most High, preside over day and night. Their particular position on either side of Christ shows us the celestial aspect of this sadly human scene... When man becomes God.

Good condition, elegant gilded wood frame, 32 cm by 27 cm, 4 cm deep.
On the back, an interesting mark of ownership from a thread which indicates that this painting came from his late mother (1741-1825).
