Triumphant Christ wood polychrome sculpture. Gothic Corpus Christi.

Beautiful and important triumphant Christ in lime wood with remains of polychromy. Christ has his head leaning on his right shoulder, his eyes half-closed and his mouth half open. The hair is combed into thin locks, falling on the shoulders. It wears a short perizonium, with V-shaped folds. The legs keep a relatively parallel position. The face is beautiful, the nose well defined. Our sculpture responds to the canons of the German Christs triumphant from the beginning of the 15th century. It still shows clear influences from the 14th century.
