Sculptural 18th century Italian crucifix with aquamarine and fluorite in matrix.
The 18th century Italian crucifix originally came from a church in Italy. It is mounted on the aquamarine and fluorite in matrix which perfectly coordinates with the original blue colors of the crucifix. The mineral is dusted with antique turmeric yellow powders that were used by Italian restorers.
The Italian crucifix is preserved and transformed into a figurative, contemporary work of art. With the combination of the precious minerals, the church artifact becomes a sculptural work of historic and organic significance.
Interi is known for its precious collections of sculptural ecclesiastical artifacts. Recently Interi's Crucifix Collection exhibited with Museo de' Medici in Florence, Italy which closed in the spring of 2024.
