The Dead Christ
The Dead Christ or The Redeemer in Death is a statue of Jesus Christ executed in white Carrara marble by the 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.
