Stunning Wall Mounted Hanging Jesus Christ. Condition: This sculpture is in perfect condition. Bronze Dimensions :Height 30 x Width 30 cm Weight : heavy. Material: (black gold) ebony Original or Reproduction: Original. Provenance: Private old collection. Antique stunning black Jesus Christ created by African old master. This artful expression of a black Jesus Christ is crafted with extraordinary care. The artist paid attention to every detail. With this black Jesus Christ on the cross wall crucifix, we remember that Jesus gave up His life in order to us to have eternal life. The wall crucifix is hand-carved from a ebony. Artists have depicted Jesus Christ in many different nationalities for centuries to express their shared experience with the message of Christ that is available to all peoples. This black Jesus, made of ebony, measures 30. And will stand out in both size and elegance due to its sheer simplicity. If you are looking to donate a gift with deep meaning to a church or religious organization, this black Jesus Christ wall crucifix would make stunning contribution to any wall. African artists sculpt differently than sculptors from the Western world. They typically lack a university education. Their masters and teachers are talented sculptors from the older generation. Most often, these are family members (father or uncle). African sculptors do not create designs on paper, they do not draw sculptures on the material (wood) on which they work. They must have the entire project in mind. This is a very difficult skill, especially since there can be no mistakes in wood. They usually work with very simple tools, which makes the job even more difficult. But that’s not all. Ebony wood is an extremely hard and brittle material. This adds to the difficulty of carving. All of this makes the work exceptionally difficult. Considering all these difficulties, a talented African carver is a true master. Ebony (known as black gold) is the precious wood of various species of trees (primarily ebony) growing in the tropics and subtropics. It is one of the most expensive woods in the world. Ebony is dyed dark or black, hard, heavy, and difficult to split. Ebony names are associated with the color of the wood, e. Black ebony, green ebony, or the country or port of export, e. Bombay ebony, Ceylon ebony, Madagascar ebony. Black ebony is the most valuable, and comes primarily from species of trees in the Diospyros genus, primarily the ebony persimmon D. The wood used for African samkral sculptures is mpingo wood (Dalbergia melanoxylon from the Papilonaceae family), referred to as Mozambique ebony due to similar botanical characteristics. It is characterized by hardness and durability. The black stem is surrounded by yellowish-whitish sapwood and dark brown bark with a prominent, irregular pattern. Dark brown mpingo carvings were formerly polished with a special mixture of wax and ash, but now a black “kiwi” paste is used. The Origins of Black Jesus Images. The origins of Black Jesus images can be traced back to ancient times. Throughout history, people have depicted Jesus in various ways, often influenced by their own cultural and artistic traditions. In some cultures, Jesus has been depicted with darker skin tones, reflecting the diversity of the regions where Christianity spread. One example of an early Black Jesus image is the Coptic icon of the Black Madonna and Child, which dates back to the 4th century. This icon portrays Mary and Jesus with dark skin, symbolizing their African heritage. The image has been revered by many as a powerful representation of the universality of Christ’s message. It is important to note that the depiction of Jesus as Black is not meant to replace or invalidate other representations of Jesus. Rather, it serves as a reminder of the diverse ways in which people have imagined and connected with Jesus throughout history. The Influence of African Spirituality on Black Jesus Images. African spirituality has played a significant role in shaping the depiction of Black Jesus. Spirituality is a central aspect of African culture, and it has influenced the way Black Jesus is portrayed in art and religious imagery. Black Jesus as a Symbol of Empowerment. Black Jesus is often seen as a symbol of empowerment for Black communities. The representation of Jesus as Black it provides a sense of pride and affirmation for Black individuals, who have historically been marginalized and oppressed. By depicting Jesus as Black, it highlights the importance of representation and the recognition of Black people’s contributions to Christianity. Moreover, the image of Black Jesus serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength of Black communities throughout history. It symbolizes the ability to overcome adversity and find hope in the face of oppression. The representation of Jesus as Black empowers individuals to embrace their cultural heritage and celebrate their identity. In addition, Black Jesus images inspire social and political activism. They challenge societal norms and call for justice and equality. The image of a Black Jesus encourages individuals to fight against systemic racism and advocate for the rights of marginalized communities. It serves as a powerful symbol of resistance and solidarity. Overall, Black Jesus as a symbol of empowerment has a profound impact on individuals and communities. It challenges stereotypes, promotes self-acceptance, and inspires collective action for social change. Materials bubble wrap, polystyrene chips and double boxing where needed to provide maximum safety during. Please see our other auctions for original antiques.

This is a profound and spiritual Antique 18th c. Old Master Mexican Spanish Colonial Oil Painting on canvas, mounted on wood, depicting a serene and stoic female Catholic saint, possibly the Virgin Mary. The attention to detail in this painting is remarkable and reflects the mastery of early Mexican painters during the Spanish Colonial era. This work approximately dates to the mid to late 1700’s. I do not know the identity of the woman depicted, but perhaps you recognize this religious figure? This work is unsigned, but so are the majority of the masterworks that came out of this incredible artistic movement. This painting is on canvas and appears to have been mounted to wood sometime long ago. The wood mounting itself looks very old. This was likely to preserve the artwork, as canvases this old are very fragile. Good condition overall, with spots of paint loss, edge wear, and fine craquelure that is customary with almost any nearly 300-year-old painting, especially one that was for devotional use please see photos. Acquired from the contents of a deceased estate in Los Angeles, California. Approximately: 51/4 x 8 1/4 inches. Please check my other listings for more wonderful and unique artworks! What is Spanish colonial art? Spanish colonial art includes paintings, sculptures and decorative objects produced across one and a half continents, from Mexico down to South America, over a period of about 330 years. Artworks produced in Brazil during this period are referred to as Portuguese colonial art. All art and objects from this region that precede Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the New World in 1492, marking the beginning of the European conquest, are termed pre-Columbian. The Spanish colonial period ends around 1820, when Spain began to lose its grip on its colonies in the New World and independence was won by many of today’s Latin American nations. What does Spanish colonial art look like? Because of its incredibly broad scope, Spanish colonial art cannot be defined by any one particular style, subject or form. One can find a preponderance of depictions of Virgins and saints, attesting to the spread of Catholicism in the region, but often these come with a distinctly regional flavour.

This is a profound and spiritual Antique 18th c. Old Master Mexican Spanish Colonial Oil Painting on canvas, mounted on wood, depicting a serene Catholic female saint in a flowing black gown. A gilded corona of holy luminescence surrounds her head, and she is flanked by two very tall lit candles on both sides. Hanging from her body is a long chain of rosary beads, with a prominent crucifix. The attention to detail in this painting is remarkable, and reflects the mastery of early Mexican painters during the Spanish Colonial era. This work approximately dates to the mid to late 1700’s. I do not know the identity of the woman depicted, but perhaps you recognize this religious figure?
