About this work
This Crucifixion is carved from a deep black marble found only in Wallonia (Belgium). The Palardin-Fiacre family of sculptors (originally from Lombardy), who were active in Liège, specialized in reliefs made from this hard-to-work material. Effects of light and shadow are difficult to achieve in the uniform dark stone and the subtle details of the depiction only come to life with proper illumination.
