A polychromed and parcel-gilt wood architectural element depicting the Dead Saviour supported by an angel, after Bartholomaeus Spranger (1546-1611) and Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617), Italian, early 18th century.
Christ with eight winged putti heads (accidents, missing parts, restorations)
The artist who produced this set drew heavily on the 1587 painting by Bartholomaeus Spranger (1546-1611) in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the engraving by Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617).
This architectural element was probably part of a private chapel.
