Kristushoved 1930

"Kristushoved" (Christ Head) is a 1930 sculpture by Danish artist Niels Skovgaard, renowned for his naturalistic style. This small, intimate piece, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a serene and contemplative Christ, emphasizing his humanity. The sculpture's rough, unfinished texture adds to its realism, capturing a sense of quiet contemplation and spirituality. Skovgaard's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth, drawing the viewer into the subject's introspective gaze.
