Description Abstract Bronze Wall Cross – German Sacred Art, 21 cm Solid Bronze A striking example of Christian bronze sculpture, this wall cross combines minimal form with powerful symbolism. The intersecting bronze lines at the center evoke both the Crown of Thorns and the Light of the Resurrection, representing the transformation of suffering into hope. Its rugged texture and openwork design play beautifully with light and shadow, emphasizing the cross as a living symbol of faith and renewal. Cast in Germany during the 1960s–1970s, this piece reflects the modernist ecclesiastical style of artists such as Egino Weinert and Friedrich Press, who reinterpreted sacred forms with expressive abstraction. Details Material: Solid bronze Height: 21 cm (≈ 8.25 in) Origin: Germany, mid-20th century Style: Modernist / Abstract sacred art Mounting: Wall loop on back for hanging Condition: Excellent vintage condition with natural patina Symbolism The open, branching core symbolizes the divine presence breaking through human fragility — a visual reminder that even within the wounds of the cross, light and grace emerge. It is both raw and refined, spiritual and sculptural — a contemplative work of art ideal for home altars, chapels, or modern sacred spaces.
