Description
Marvellous work of religious art.
This striking and sizeable painting of Christ on the cross is an impressive sight to see and for more reasons than one. The incredibly well painted, pale body of Christ contrasting strongly against the dark and ominous looking background makes Christ, in His agonizing position, look even more vulnerable. We feel that this is what this larger than average painting is about, because, looking at the face of Christ, the painter has chosen to portray Jesus in His moment of deepest dispair. It seems to be the moment when He calls out "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?". With that the artist may be showing us that we can all lose hope/faith sometimes, but we should try to never give up. Then, in the centre of this vulnerable painting of Christ, there is one of the best painted loincloths you will ever find (see image 4). In that same fragment you can also witness the incredible beauty of the anatomical details in the belly and upper legs of Christ. For a painting to portray such agony on the one hand, combined with such incredible softness and beauty on the other, to us, makes it very powerful and a true work of art. Light and dark are very much present in this painting and, except for nightfall, the darkness in the back may also represent what will happen (and may already have happened) to life on earth when this is how we treat those who are truthful and who bring light. Prior to shipping, the excellent condition, ebonized wooden frame with the golden banding will be strengthened in the corners so it will again be as strong as it was when it was first handcrafted.
Mind you, our fair price for this impressive and sizable antique painting with its original wooden frame includes perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days.
Maximum height x width x depth (including the frame) 51.4 x 39 x 1.57 inches.
Height x width x depth of the painting only 41.7 x 30.1 x 0.79 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for artistic and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

Condition report:
Excellent. Wear consistent with age and use. There is one superficial and easy to restore scratch (where the paint is gone, see image 11). We feel that a layer of varnish would better preserve and 'sharpen' this excellent condition painting.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
