The Risen Christ (Italian; Cristo della Minerva, also known as Christ the Redeemer or Christ Carrying the Cross) is a marble sculpture by Michelangelo, housed in the Santa Maria sopra Minerva church in Rome. It was contracted in June 1514 and was to be completed with in four years.
Various adjustments had been made to the sculpture since it was created, such as the inclusion of the stigmata in Jesus’ hands and feet, and later his genitalia covered behind a bronze loincloth.
This scan originates from a cast of one of the earlier verisions of the work (before the loincloth was put in place), and was featured alongside a newer version in The National Gallery’s 2017 ‘Michelangelo and Sebastiano’ exhibition.
If you produce new work with the model and want to share it with us, drop us a line at web@smk.dk or stw@myminifactory.com. This scan was produced in collaboration between The Statens Museum for Kunst and Scan the World for the SMK-Open project. Every model produced from this initiative is available under an open source license.
I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.
The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.
Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.
★ Can be placed in the living room, garden, bonsai office, bedroom, bookstore, study, library, store, desk, car.
