The early carved wood Corpus Christi, dating from the 16th to 17th century in Northern Europe, is a poignant example of devotional art. Delicately yet naively carved, it combines expressive simplicity with remarkable physicality, evoking both human vulnerability and divine serenity. The stylised anatomy and raw craftsmanship prioritise spiritual resonance over technical precision, creating a deeply authentic and emotive piece.
Crafted for private worship or ecclesiastical use, its wooden medium reflects regional traditions and has acquired a rich patina over time, enhancing its historical and spiritual significance. This carving embodies the profound interplay between faith and artistry, retaining its power to inspire devotion centuries later.
