About the sculpture
Believed by many to be the work of Donatello and his one-time partner Michelozzo, this languid Christ relates more closely to later works and perhaps deliberately recalls Donatello’s style. The wounds of the Passion in Christ’s hands, feet and side were a focus for meditation on his suffering. Unusually, the side wound is missing here, although the wounds from the nails in Christ's hands are distinctively carved.
