TIBALDI IESUS (JESUS CHRIST) SILVER ROLLERBALL PEN LIMITED EDITION OF 333 IN ORIGINAL PAINTED BOX

Description

TIBALDI IESUS (JESUS CHRIST) SILVER ROLLERBALL PEN

AMONG THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS TIBALDI HAS EVER PRODUCED, THE IESUS PEN DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM CARL BLOCH’S MASTERPIECE, THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST. A REPRODUCTION OF THE PAINTING, MADE BY THE ITALIAN ARTIST, LORENA STRAFFI, DECORATES THE PEN BARREL AND SERVES AS THE BACKGROUND FOR A SKILLFULLY ETCHED OVERLAY BOASTING THE IMAGE OF JESUS ON THE CROSS WITH THE VIRGIN MARY AT HIS FEET.

RENOWNED DANISH PAINTER CARL HEINRICH BLOCH RANKS AMONG THE GREATEST ARTISTS TO INTERPRET THE LIFE AND DEATH OF CHRIST.

HAVING WRAPPED THE IMAGE OF THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST AROUND THE PEN’S BARREL, TIBALDI’S DESIGNERS RECREATED MANY OF ITS DETAILS IN RELIEF. THE FIGURE OF JESUS ON THE CROSS AND THE HOLY VIRGIN AT HIS FEET ARE REPRODUCED IN PRECIOUS METAL, HAND-ENGRAVED AND PERFORATED TO SHOW THE COLORS OF THE PAINTING’S BACKGROUND THROUGH THE APERTURES. THE END OF THE CAP HOLDS A CORNELIAN RED STONE REPRESENTING THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. THE LEAVES AND SHAPES ON THE CAP OF THE IESUS PEN TAKE INSPIRATION FOR TYPICAL CHURCH DECORATIONS AND PATTERNS THAT MAY BE FOUND ON PAPAL DRESSES.

A LIMITED EDITION NUMBER IS 19/333 ROLLER BALLS IN STERLING SILVER.

IN KEEPING WITH TIBALDI TRADITION, THE TIBALDI PEN TO HONOR JESUS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED ACCORDING TO THE STRICTURES OF THE DIVINE PROPORTION (PHI). ITS CLIP, REMINISCENT OF AN ANGEL’S WING, ALSO INCORPORATES THE SIGNATURE TIBALDI ROTATING WHEEL AT ITS BASE.
