19th Century Italian School - Ecce Homo - Terracotta sculpture. Dimensions: 48 x 47 x 30 cm. An interesting terracotta sculpture depicting Ecce Homo, made by a 19th-century Tuscan-Emilian workshop within the Italian devotional tradition of Baroque and Renaissance inspiration. The work displays intense expressiveness in the treatment of Christ's face, accentuated by vigorous modeling and a marked naturalism in the anatomical and facial details. The composition conveys a profound dramatic and spiritual sense, characteristic of 19th-century Italian religious sculpture, heir to classical models developed between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. The surface retains an attractive patina of age that reinforces the historical and devotional character of the piece. A sculpture of remarkable presence and artistic quality, representative of 19th-century Italian craftsmanship. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU).
