Le Christ d'Assy

bronze with black patina
height: 17 3/4in. (45cm.)

Executed circa 1950, this work is the maquette for Le Christ d'Assy, which was commissioned for the church of Assy, Haute Savoie. The resulting sculpture provoked a national scandal and brought Richier to the notice of a broad French public.
