Christ’s Bodies

At Franco, five different models of Christ's bodies are available, each with a different style. The dimensions indicated always mean from feet to head. The two bodies of Christ 4400 and 4500 are of the classical type, Jesus suffering on the cross, as in most of the crucifixes. They are available in sizes from 10 up to 85 cm (model 4400) and 12 up to 40 cm (model 4500), with the usual finishes (from natural to painted) as well as with an antique finish. From the size of 60 cm onwards, the body of Christ 4400 is carved in lime wood, while all the other measures are in maple wood. The bodies of Christ 4545 and 4550 belong to the Romanesque vein, characterized by simpler and more regular lines and fewer details. These specimens are very old and date back to the 11th-13th century. The body of Christ 4550 is a faithful reproduction of the original of the "Great God of Altenstadt" from the 13th century, whose fame is mainly due to the height of 3.20. Like the classical bodies of Christ, both in the Romanesque and in the classical style an antiqued finish is also available. Those who prefer not to explicitly see the suffering on the body of Christ can turn to the 4600 model with a stylized body. It is a more modern interpretation, also proposed with antique finishes and in an entirely golden model.
