Giambologna's "Santa Maria Della Fonte Nuova" is a striking ivory sculpture depicting the crucifixion of Christ. Created by the renowned Italian sculptor during his prolific career, it showcases his signature style of naturalistic detail and dynamic pose. The figure's outstretched arms, the delicate rendering of the body, and the radiating wings of silver surrounding Christ all contribute to a powerful and poignant representation of sacrifice and suffering. This piece exemplifies Giambologna's mastery of ivory carving and his contribution to Renaissance religious art.
