Bronze Figure of the Christ by Jean LAMBERT-RUCKI

Superb figure of the Christ from the French-Polish artist Jean Lambert-Rucki (1888-1967) who was part of the art community in Montparnasse, Paris (Modigliani, Soutine, Kisling ...) and Art Deco, for instance through his collaboration with Dunand. His workshop produced numerous large and small Christ figures, in wood or bronze, especially for so-called "reconstruction" churches - that is, built again after massive WWI destructions in Northern France. The Christ is treated in a neo-romanesque way, with deep ridges marking the body. The minimalist drapery is modern. The geometrical head display medieval and modern influences. Excellent conservation. The nails from the hands seems to be missing. Some gilt-lack on the top of Christ's head. Signed on the side (see below). Undated workshop cast.
