German or French school; XII- XIII centuries. "Christ". Bronze. Partially preserves the gilding. It has faults in the fingers. Measurements: 18 x 16 x 4 cm. Figure in bronze, representing a Christ of three nails, with the head inclined on the arm. The body lacks naturalistic pretensions, as was usual in the devotional art of the Romanesque period . In spite of the fact that due to the period we could find ourselves before a Gothic piece that remains faithful to Romanesque solutions: the body is resolved in a synthetic way, making abstraction of the elemental, magnifying hands and heads for being the parts that are mostly wanted to be shown. A profusion of incisions chisel the body, outlining the ribs, the details of the crown and the cloth, bringing great richness to the bronze. During the Romanesque period, sculpture was most often conceived as part of the architecture, as in the Gothic period. However, there were also examples of free-standing sculpture, the most frequent being the themes of the Crucified and the Virgin and Child (the pantheon of saints was still small). There were two models, the "colobium" and the "perizonium". The first is a Christ nailed to the cross, still alive, with talar tunic and four nails. It is a scarce model, since it was only made in certain European territories (in Spain, only in the crown of Aragon, especially in Catalonia, however always coexisting with the second model). On the other hand, the "perizonium" is also a Christ on the cross with four nails, alive or dead, but dressed with a cloth of purity. Partially preserves the gilding.
