Project History
Spiritual Context
This representation of Jesus Christ captures the serenity and compassion that define Christian iconography. The work seeks to convey spiritual peace and connection with the divine through the technical mastery of bronze.
The Artistic Challenge
Creating sacred art requires a delicate balance between iconographic tradition and personal artistic expression. Every detail must convey reverence while maintaining the vitality that distinguishes a masterpiece from a mere reproduction.
Casting Process
The modeling (S1) was based on detailed studies of classical iconography and facial expression. Lost-wax casting (S3) preserved every subtlety of the expression and the folds of the garments with absolute fidelity.
Legacy and Impact
The patina (S4) uses traditional tones that evoke solemnity and eternity. This piece represents the foundry’s commitment to sacred art of the highest quality, destined to endure for generations.
