Cristo in croce.

Olio su rame. cm 35x28,5. Al retro etichetta dattiloscritta con la storia pregressa del dipinto, non firmato ma di ottima qualità, che risulta essere stato acquistato in Messico all’inizio del ‘900 e donato al convento di S. Anna ad Arlington Heights nel Massachusetts: “This curious representation of the Crucifixion, painted on copper, was presented to the Father Founder by Miss Elizabeth Grinner Wilbor, in the name of her brother, Albert G. Wilbor, who bought the painting in Mexico. He regarded it as of rare value and a work of art. He was a man of fine artistic sense and he loved beautiful objects. It was Mis Wilbor’s hope that the picture might always remain in a holy place. It was therefore presented by the Father Founder to the Convent of St. Anne, Arlington Heights”.
