Christ as the Redeemer

1579
Marble
Duomo, Lucca

The figure sculpture on the Altar of Liberty in Lucca comprises a central figure of Christ as the Redeemer, lateral figures of St Peter (left) and St Paulinus (right) and two angels (above). The figure of Christ, an autograph work of high quality, is shown in movement; it could be related to the painting of the Resurrection by Bronzino in Santissima Annunziata, Florence.
