# Christ as Saviour [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CACCINI, Giovanni Battista]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Marble, height 71 cm ## Commentary This bust of Christ was part of the tabernacle of the Benedetti family in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. With the Saviour's gentle expression, Caccini distanced himself from the traditionally cool style of the day. The sculpture is pervaded with something of the forthcoming Baroque style. ## Related artworks - [Autumn]() - [Autumn]() - [Bronze doors]() - [Bronze doors]() - [Bronze doors]() - [Summer]() - [Summer]() - [Tabernacle]() - [Temperance \(detail\)]() - [Temperance]() - [Trinity]() - [View of the interior]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
