Indo-Portuguese Corpus Christi, late 17th century - Lot 21
Indo-Portuguese Corpus Christi, late 17th century A polychrome carved wooden Corpus Christi, attributed to the Indo-Portuguese tradition and likely made in Goa toward the end of the 17th century. Christ is depicted with his arms outstretched wide, his head slightly bowed, his eyes raised, and his mouth slightly parted. His body bears numerous painted marks of the Passion, particularly on his hands, arms, torso, knees, and feet. The perizonium, tied at the side, features carved folds and retains traces of gilding. The original polychromy is still largely visible, with signs of wear, small losses, and early retouching. The piece is part of the religious tradition developed in Indo-Portuguese workshops under Iberian influence. Details: Period: late 17th century; Date: circa 1660–1700; Origin: probably Goa, Portuguese India; Material: carved and polychrome wood; Height from head to feet: 42 cm, Width between hands: 38 cm, Provenance: European private collection, Condition: signs of age, isolated losses of polychrome, old retouching, and signs of use.
