{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-el-greco-style-crucifix","title":"Vintage Bronze El Greco Style Crucifix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze El Greco Style Crucifix stretches its corpus far beyond natural proportion, the arms reaching almost to the ends of the short crossbar, the body twisting slightly and the legs drawn together down the long shaft. The surface is left rough from the model, with the marks of the tool still showing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElongation of this kind is a deliberate device, the one El Greco himself used in Toledo. It pulls the eye upward along the figure and gives even a small cross an unexpected sense of height, as though the body were already rising. The piece carries no lettering and no ornament at all, and nothing is offered except the figure. That is why it reads as modern in feeling despite its age, and why it suits anyone who wants a crucifix with no comfort in it beyond the one that matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe crucifix was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943434170553,"sku":"3c3-777-B","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-777-B.png?v=1787688710","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-el-greco-style-crucifix","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
