ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The wooden Crucifix of the Santa Maria dei Servi Church in Padua was recently attributed to the great sculptor Donatello. This crucifix recently underwent a demanding restoration. In the context of a multidisciplinary study of this sculpture, several analyses were carried out (Digital Rx, 3D scanning, CT scanning and micro-stratigraphic analysis) and the anatomical study was performed. Donatello sculpted the anatomy of this Christ realistically reproducing the human body, emphasizing some particulars, with less attention to details in the regions of the body hidden by the Crux. A swelling is well appreciable just below the lateral portion of the inguinal ligament, on the right thigh. It is a six cm wide bulge and it could be the consequence of the beating suffered by Christ before the crucifixion.
