{"product_id":"aligi-sassu-il-cristo","title":"Aligi Sassu - The Christ","description":"Aligi Sassu's work \"Il Cristo\" depicts the crucified Christ, a central figure in sacred art. The bronze sculpture, created using the lost-wax casting technique, highlights Christ's body through clean lines and stylized forms. The open position of his arms and slightly elongated body convey a sense of sacrifice, in an image expressing pain and redemption.\n\r \nThe style is essential and tends to prioritize emotional impact over realism. The lost-wax casting technique allows for a richly detailed finish, while the forms remain simple and stylized. This approach gives the work a balance between the strength of the material and the intensity of the spiritual message, avoiding excessive decoration.\n\n Aligi Sassu, born in Milan in 1912 and died in 2000, was a painter and sculptor. His painting focused primarily on the representation of movement and physical strength, which is why the subject of a man on horseback was always congenial to him. In the late 1970s, he and Bruno Munari drafted the pictorial manifesto \"Dynamism and Muscular Reform,\" which called for a return to anti-naturalistic forms in a dynamic sense. Much of his painting, moreover, is inspired by Delacroix and his struggles.\n\n","brand":"D'Orazio Clara (da 8000 a 7200)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56220094300546,"sku":"CDOR001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/1313_544917c9-8dfe-4399-a034-7b638d9434a1.jpg?v=1768488353","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/aligi-sassu-il-cristo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
