Romanesque Crucifixion – North Italian, c.1180–1230 ("The Spencer Crucifixion")An exceptional and evocative Romanesque carved wood Crucifixion group, retaining its original broad cross and gesso decoration, likely from Northern Italy (or adjacent Ibero Italian region) c. 1180 1230. The Corpus Christi is presented in a fully frontal, hieratic pose arms horizontal, legs rigid, and the body carved with deliberate stylisation. The face is serene and symmetrical, recalling the enduring iconography of the Christus Triumphans
