Vue rapprochée sur la place d'un chef-d'œuvre de la sculpture religieuse médiévale, un crucifix sculpté dans le milieu des années 1100s à partir d'un tronc de peuplier massif, avec les bras ajoutés dans le bois d'aulne, suspendu dans la Chiesa di Santa Maria del Tiglio, Ancien baptistère roman sur les rives du lac de Côme à Gravedona, Lombardie, Italie. Bien qu'il puisse être lombardique, il est plus typique de la sculpture française ou allemande et un crucifix semblable en bronze est conservé au monastère bénédictin werden près d'Essen dans la Ruhr, en Allemagne.

Gravedona, Lake Como, Lombardy, Italy: close detail square view of a masterpiece of medieval religious sculpture, a crucifix carved in the mid-12th century from poplar and alder wood, hanging in the Chiesa di Santa Maria del Tiglio, a 12th century Romanesque former baptistery on the northwest shores of the Lago di Como. It was originally in the adjoining parish church of San Vincenzo but was moved during restoration work lasting from 1997 to 2000. Although the crucifix may be Lombardic, like most of the surviving frescoes in Santa Maria del Tiglio, it may be the work of a French or German artist from north of the Alps. It is similar both to a crucifix preserved elsewhere in Lombardy, in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Sondalo, about 98 km (61 miles) northeast of Gravedona, and to a bronze crucifix in the Imperial Abbey of Werden-Helmstedt, a Benedictine monastery near Essen in the Ruhr, Germany, around 850 km (528 miles) north of Gravedona. The Gravedona crucifix was carved from five blocks of poplar and alder. The body of Jesus Christ and the shaft of the cross were sculpted from a single solid poplar trunk, with the arms added in alder. The lakeside land occupied by Santa Maria del Tiglio and San Vincenzo was a sacred site from at least Roman times. The first Christian building, a baptistery dedicated to St John the Baptist, was probably built on the site of a pagan temple. The two churches both incorporate re-used Roman materials, including an altar and a fragment of 5th century floor mosaic. D0718.A8589
