The Dead Christ
Template:Short description Template:Italic title The Dead Christ or The Redeemer in Death is a statue of Jesus Christ executed in white Carrara marble by the Irish sculptor John Hogan (1800–1858).[1] The work was first sculpted by Hogan when he was based in Rome, alongside other artists such as sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844).[2] Thorvaldsen reputedly described the statue as Hogan's "masterpiece".[3] In all, Hogan carved three versions of the statue in marble:
- the first (1829) is located in St. Teresa's Carmelite Church, Dublin, Ireland[4]
- the second (1833) in St. Finbarr's (South) Church, Cork, Ireland[5]
- the third and final (1854) is located in the Basilica of St. John the Baptist, St. John's, Newfoundland[6]
A fourth statue, a plaster cast, is on display in the Crawford Art Gallery in Cork, Ireland. It was acquired from Hogan's widow, Cornelia Bevigani, by William Horatio Crawford.[7]
