1620s Benediction Blessing Life Of Christ Sign Waving Raised Arm

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 17th century sculpture, titled "Risen Christ," is a partially gilded bronze depiction of Jesus Christ raising his right arm in a blessing or benediction gesture. The lifelike figure, created during the 1620s, exudes a sense of divine power and serenity. The artist, unknown to us today, masterfully captures the essence of the resurrected Christ, with his muscular, toned body and expressive face. The sculpture's black colour and intricate details add to its mystical allure, making it a captivating work of art that transcends time and culture. Originating from Italy, this masterpiece is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The Risen Christ is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Europe and the enduring influence of Christianity on the continent. The raised arm and open palm of Christ, along with the subtle sign of the cross etched into his garment, serve as reminders of his divine power and the blessings bestowed upon his followers. The sculpture's intricate details, such as the veins on Christ's arms and the delicate folds of his robe, further emphasize the artist's skill and dedication. The Risen Christ is a powerful reminder of the profound impact of religious art on the world and the enduring legacy of the European artistic tradition. This masterpiece continues to inspire and captivate viewers, inviting them to contemplate the deeper meaning of faith, hope, and the human experience.
