"Christ on the Cross"
Patinated bronze.
Wooden cross.
Measurements: 36 x 32 cm (Christ); 64 x 40 cm (cross).

A bronze Christ with four nails, mounted on a wooden cross with simple lines. The figure follows a stylized ideal, with arms outstretched in a gentle diagonal, the head bowed, and the body restrained, without dramatic excesses. The anatomical modeling—with a well-defined torso and balanced proportions—evokes classical and Renaissance models, though reinterpreted through a nineteenth-century devotional sensibility. The cloth of purity, rendered with vertical folds and gathered at the waist, introduces movement into a composition of great formal serenity.
