The Director General of Cultural Assets, Francisco Gimenez, today presented the pastor of the church of the Carmen de Cartagena the restored image of the 'Christ of faith', designed by Mariano Benlliure, which has been operated by the Center for Restoration of the Region Murcia.
The crucified, called 'Christ of faith', is of carved wood and painted, and was conducted in 1941 commissioned by the Navy to receive service in the church del Carmen.
This is a dramatic expressive carving, inherited from the Baroque iconography plastic.
The details of anatomy and root Impressionist naturalism characterize the entire production Benlliure and Gil (1862-1947).
The intervention of the piece consisted of a healing process of fumigation by anoxia, for which manufactured a plastic Ziploc bag to kill wood-eating insects.
The restoration of the piece represents an investment of 7,000 euros to the region and has lasted a month.
