DESCRIPTION
Spanish school of the XVIII century
"Eccehomo".
Oil on canvas.
Relined.
Measurements: 52 x 40 cm, 74 x 62 cm (frame).
The work represents a bust of Christ with bowed head and lowered gaze, in an attitude of deep recollection. The face, treated with softness and modeled with a delicate play of light and shadow, stands out against a dark background that intensifies the introspective character of the scene. The red cloak, knotted at the chest, introduces the main chromatic accent and reinforces the symbolism of the sacrifice.
From the stylistic point of view, the painting is part of the tradition of 19th century religious painting, heir to baroque naturalism and the expressive use of chiaroscuro. In a context marked by the coexistence of tradition and modernity, this type of images continued to be common in private devotion, seeking a direct emotional connection with the viewer.
