Dying Christ (El Cachorro)
by RUIZ GIJÓN, Francisco, Polychrome wood, height 184 cm
Francisco Ruiz Gij�n was the last great master of the seventeenth century in Seville. He created the Dying Christ, popularly called El Cachorro. Christ is shown still alive, but he turns his gaze beseechingly upwards, while his loincloth appears to move in the wind.
