A High Period work from the Rhine region, carved and polychromed in basswood.
This is an early altarpiece crowning figure. Standing 69 cm tall (in numerology, the symbolism of 69 is that of stability), wrapped in a single red cloak, Christ blesses with his right hand.
This iconography of the triumphant Christ spread widely from the 15th century onwards. The model created by Alsatian artist Martin Schongauer became a reference in Rhenish and Germanic artistic circles.
Here, the three visible holes in the head were intended to fix the golden rays emanating from the divine figure, like the Christ of the Resurrection depicted in the artist's engraving preserved at the Musée de Condé.
Dimensions 69 cm
Condition: Damage to the left hand, insect holes, polychrome damage, missing rays of Glory and staff.
