The Dead Christ

The Dead Christ

"The Dead Christ" or "The Redeemer in Death" is a statue of Jesus Christ executed in white Carrara marble by the renowned Irish sculptor John Hogan in Rome.

Hogan created three versions of the statue in the early 19th century:
* the first (1829) is located in St. Teresa's Church, Dublin, Ireland
* the second (1833) in St. Finbarr's (South) Church, Cork, Ireland
* the third and final (1854) is located in the Basilica of St. John the Baptist, St. John's, Newfoundland

A fourth statue is on display in the Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Cork Ireland. It is a plaster cast, bearing Hogan's initials.
