A pencil drawing of Corpus (The Body), a life-size bronze sculpture of the crucified Jesus by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598 – 1680) Italian sculptor and architect.
Corpus is considered one of the artist’s “long-lost masterpieces”.
After being “lost” for over one hundred years, Corpus surfaced in Venice in 1908. Later it fell into private hands in the United States, but by that time it was misidentified as a work from the school of Giambologna.
Corpus is said to be worth $50 million in the current art market. Now in The Art Gallery of Ontario.
