Bronze sculpture representing the risen Christ, arms open, in a timeless gesture of blessing. This work titled “Jesus, Now and Forever” was created to celebrate the passage to the new millennium (Anno Domini 2000). Cast in lost-wax bronze (hot-cast bronze), it was published by The Franklin Mint and officially authorized by the Vatican Museums, as evidenced by the brass plaque located under the base. The posture of Christ, both solemn and soothing, gives this sculpture a strong spiritual presence. It naturally finds its place in an interior, a space for reflection, or a collection of religious art.
