Cristo Yacente of El Pardo, Religious sculpture in El Pardo, Spain
The wooden sculpture depicts Jesus Christ lying down after crucifixion, with his head tilted to the right side and one leg raised higher than the other.
King Philip III commissioned the sculpture in 1614 to Gregorio Fernández, who completed and delivered it to the Capuchin Convent of El Pardo in 1615.
The sculpture represents a prevalent theme in 16th and 17th-century Spanish religious art, displaying Christ's wounds while maintaining anatomical precision in the body representation.
The artwork measures 1.60 meters in length and resides in a side chapel of the Capuchin Convent, protected within a bronze and marble display case.
The hollow pine wood construction prevents structural movements and reduces weight, while oil polychromy enhances the detailed execution of muscles, hair, and facial features.
