A Superb 16th-17th Century Carved Oak Panel Depicting The Crucifixion Of Christ.
This carved wooden panel depicts a religious scene, specifically the Crucifixion of Christ. The central figure is Jesus Christ on the cross, with his arms outstretched and a crown of thorns on his head. Flanking him on either side are two figures, likely Mary Magdalene and Mary of Clopas, both commonly represented in this biblical scene. Their hands are positioned in gestures of mourning or prayer.
The piece is carved from oak, a durable wood often used for religious carvings, especially in Northern Europe.
There are clear signs of age, including wear, a darkened patina, and some small imperfections, indicating that it has been exposed to the elements over centuries. This wear, along with the craftsmanship, suggests the piece has considerable age.
This panel was likely part of a larger altarpiece or a devotional item used in a church or chapel. It was crafted with reverence and attention to detail, reflecting the importance of the Crucifixion as a central theme in Christian iconography.
Condition is good, commensurate with age and use. Structurally sound with natural age related wear and patina.
