The Met Store Giambologna: Corpus of Christ Sculpture* Sculpture

A faithful reproduction of a bronze sculpture in the Museum’s collection, our Corpus of Christ, delicately conveys Christ’s agony and pathos that was so evident in the original cast in the early seventeenth century in the workshop of Giovanni Francesco Susini (ca. 1575–1653), off of a model Giovanni Bologna, called Giambologna (Flemish, ca. 1529–1608).
