Paduan 15th Century
b. 1500
Paduan 15th Century is a Renaissance artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
This sculptor left no name, just fingers that lingered in metal. They shaped the dead Christ with a tenderness that turns hollow bronze into skin you almost expect to warm under your touch. A friend once pointed out the way the angels’ hands cup the body, no strain, just care, like holding a sleeping child.
Slide over to the National Gallery’s Christ’s Body Held by Two Angels and try to count how many times you have to look before you believe it’s not flesh.
