O soše
Veit Stoss carved Corpus Christi around 1510–1515. The small sculpture is held by the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Made for private prayer, it presents the crucified Christ through an expressive face and closely observed body. Stoss worked in Poland and Germany and was particularly renowned for carving wood. Here, fine curls distinguish the hair and beard, while folds and a fringed edge articulate the drapery. Swollen veins run along Christ’s limbs, and small wrinkles define his face and mouth.
Slovy muzea
Intended for private devotion, this small-scale statuette offers a compelling depiction of the crucified Christ with a dramatic, expressive face and a captivating, realistic body (corpus in Latin). The leading artist of his generation, Stoss worked in both Germany and Poland. He achieved fame for his exceptional virtuosity in carving wood in particular, as seen in the highly detailed curls of the hair and beard, folds and fringe of the drapery, swollen veins in Christ’s arms and legs, and wrinkles and mouth of the face.
