IVAN MESTROVIC The Life of Christ, in Sculpture… One of the panels decorating Hendricks Chapel in Syracuse, New York, 1950. Photograph, vintage silver print, captioned (dated label) and dated (stamp) on the reverse. 22.8 x 18.2 cm, including white borders. Note: This photograph, taken in 1950, documents one of the panels sculpted by Ivan Meštrović for Hendricks Chapel at Syracuse University in New York State. Dedicated to the *Life of Christ*, this work illustrates the importance of spiritual and monumental themes in the career of the Croatian sculptor, considered one of the great figures of 20th-century sculpture. Trained in the context of Art Nouveau and Symbolism, Meštrović developed a personal artistic language that combined expressive power, religious inspiration, and mastery of monumental sculpture. The ensembles created for Hendricks Chapel rank among his most significant works in the United States. This period print serves as a valuable testament to this major commission and to the place of sacred art in the artist’s oeuvre.
