Christ at the Column 18th or 19th century

"Christ at the Column" is a bronze sculpture created by the Flemish artist François Duquesnoy, depicting Christ bound to a column, a scene of his suffering prior to his crucifixion. The small size and intricate detail of the sculpture, which was likely a private commission, are hallmarks of Duquesnoy's work. While the sculpture dates to the 17th century, it may have been cast after the artist's death as he only lived until 1643. Duquesnoy's work is known for its naturalistic details and emotional power, which can be seen in the realistic depiction of Christ's bound wrists and the somber expression on his face. This work is a testament to Duquesnoy's skill as a sculptor and his ability to capture the pathos of the Passion of Christ.
