| Title |
The Infant Christ with Instruments of the Passion |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: The infant Christ, grave and meditative, reaches out to touch the crown of thorns, a painful symbol of his future sacrifice, beside which lie the whip with which he was tortured and bent nails drawn from the cross. The cloth is be for wrapping an infant but is the shroud in which his dead body will be wrapped. Christ's Passion was implicit in his birth. Interpreting him as a tender, chubby infant, far too young for the understanding implied here, gives the figure great poignancy.
This type of infant, impossibly young for his or her actions, was developed in Rome in the 1620s by the influential Flemish sculptor François Duquesnoy. This sensitive example is by him or a close follower. It may have been made as a model for a version in marble or bronze; however, it was once gilded and was displayed as a finished work of art. |
