O soše
Christ has an unusually stocky body in Crucifixion, a relief of about 1680 in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. A close composition reduces background and decoration, concentrating attention on him. The design adapts a print after Charles Le Brun, court painter to Louis XIV. Its restraint differs from the approach Le Brun promoted at the French Academy. The surrounding frame’s original connection to the relief is disputed: its emphatic ornament seems at odds with the solemnity of the relief. On view on the sculpture mezzanine, gallery 301.
Slovy muzea
This work is quite atypical for the period due to its physiognomy and composition: Christ's figure is stout in comparison to the slender, elongated figures more common at the time. This effect is compounded by the tight focus of the composition; the artist emphasizes Christ by minimizing background and ornamentation. The design is adapted from an engraving after Charles Le Brun (1619–1690) who studied in Rome and became primary painter to Louis XIV of France. The innovative, simplistic approach of the relief contrasts to the style that Le Brun championed as head of the French Academy. Scholars dispute the legitimacy of the frame as original to the piece, due to its emphatic decoration compared to the solemn relief.
