- Lot Description
Mexico, Spanish Colonial inspired, ca. late 19th century CE. A dramatic oil painting on canvas depicting a version of the Cristo de la Columna (Christ at the Column) theme, the composition presenting a bloody, suffering Christ holding the wound (stigmata) over his heart with his right hand, while his left hand is wrapped around the cross of the Crucifixion. Underfoot is the skull of Golgotha (site near Jerusalem - this city depicted in the background - where Jesus was crucified) and a demonic serpent/crocodilian creature, perhaps referencing the triumph over evil, similar to Virgin Mary/La Purisima imagery. The painting is framed in a carefully worked tin nicho featuring rosettes at the corners, each side with stylized leaf motifs flanking a central rosette and bordered by a beaded motif. Size: painting measures 19.375" L x 14" W (49.2 cm x 35.6 cm); 23.75" L (including suspension loop) x 18" W (60.3 cm x 45.7 cm) in frame
This theme depicting the tortured, bloody Christ was quite popular with prisoners or by extension, anyone ensnared and trapped by demons, who could empathize with the subject. Despite the somber nature of this theme, this Cristo composition exemplifies a spirited folk charm that elevates the solemn subject it depicts.
Provenance: private Moore collection, Denver, Colorado, USA collection, acquired thirty years ago
