The Cristo Vivo Crucifix in the Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Uraz. A Virtuoso Representation of the Crucified Christ of the Lvivian Sculpture School

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the question of the “Cristo vivo” crucifix type, a relatively rarely realized motif of the Crucified Christ with his head raised upwards, on the example of a sculpture from the church of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Navaria, currently located in St. Michael’s the Archangel church in Uraz near Brzeg Dolny. This crucifix, together with a part of the furnishings of the Navarian temple, was transported in 1945 by the Polish people leaving the Eastern Borderlands to Lower Silesia. The aim of the article is to outline the possible sources of inspiration for this performance, as well as its influence on the faithful as an element of the Baroque theatrum sacrum.
