Salvador Dalí's "Christ of Saint John of the Cross" bronze sculpture, like the painting, is a powerful representation of Christ´s Crucififixion, but with the unique Dalinian interpretation. It emphasizes the divine perspective of the crucifixion, removing the physical suffering of the body and focusing on the redemptive love and sacrifice of Christ. The sculpture, inspired by a drawing by Saint John of the Cross, portrays Christ suspended in space, seemingly weightless, viewed from above. This viewpoint, coupled with the absence of traditional symbols of suffering like nails and thorns, suggests a triumphant and transcendent experience. 

This is a delicate piece that displays absolutely and unparalleled quality workmanship throughout. Incredible attention to detail.

Good overall condition for its age however it has some age marks ( please watch closely the provided pics).

Original  bronze patina. Signed two times by the artist.

Approx. Size: 20 Cm 

For its powerful presence and its high quality, this silver Crucifix is a piece worthy of the best sacred art collection and will make a fine addition to it. .

  • Divine Perspective:
    The sculpture presents Christ from a celestial viewpoint, looking down upon the world, suggesting a divine, rather than earthly, perspective on the crucifixion. 
  • Absence of Suffering:
    The figure lacks the traditional wounds, nails, and thorns, emphasizing the spiritual and redemptive aspects of Christ's sacrifice rather than his physical pain. 
  • Triumph over Death:
    Dalí's portrayal suggests Christ's victory over death through love and sacrifice, a key theme in Christian theology. 
  • Unity of the Universe:
    Dalí linked the image to the "nucleus of the atom," symbolizing the unity of the universe, suggesting a cosmic significance to the event. 
  • Tranquility and Peace:
    The sculpture conveys a sense of peace and serenity, contrasting with the often-dramatic depictions of the crucifixion. 
  • Redemption and Hope:
    Ultimately, the sculpture aims to evoke a sense of Christian hope and redemption, emphasizing the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice.
