Lot 15
A CARVED IVORY CHRISTO VIVO, POSSIBLY ANTWERP WORKSHOP OF MATTHEUS VAN BEVEREN (1630-1690), FLEMISH, LATE 17TH CENTURY the finely carved figure with rope tied perizonium, the head raised up to the left and speaking the last seven words, formerly mounted on a crucifix 48cm high The attenuated limbs and forceful expression of this figure show strong affinities with the works thought to be produced by Mattheus van Beveren (Antwerp 1630 - Brussels 1690) and his workshop. Known for work in ivory, as well as stone and boxwood, the absence of signed or documented Corpus Christi by van Beveren makes attribution difficult. An ivory Pieta (Musées royaux d`Art et d`Histoire, Brussels, inv. no. 1754), attributed to van Beveren, shows similar elongation in the Christ figure. See also Sotheby`s London, The Barbara Piasecka Johnson Collection, 8 July 2009, lot 32, for a highly expressive boxwood crucifix attributed to van Beveren and Sotheby`s London, 22nd April 1982, lot 266 for an ivory Corpus Christi similarly attributed. Literature: La sculpture au siècle de Rubens, Musée d`Art Ancien, Brussels, 15th July-2nd October, 1977, p.198-199
