Rare artwork by the Italian artist Domenico Chiarolanza; Jesus Christ with the crown of thorns (Miraculous Christ), made in Italy in the 1970s and mounted on black wood. Master Domenico Chiarolanza, Cavaliere di Gran Croce of the Ordine Sovrano Militare Ospitaliero di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria, has always been very sympathetic to the problems of young people with existential and economic difficulties, helping them to grow their self esteem and creativity by offering job opportunities in the worls of art and crafts.    Many of them still carry on his mission; many adults scattered between United States of America, Greece and Italy still remind master Chiarolanza as a father.   The ‘Light’ series is made entirely by hand with the old gold-leaf processing, an ancient secret of Chiarolanza family for generations passed on to young people so they can learn a profession and somehow lighten their economic issues thanks to the income of those artworks, since now sold off line through the circles of acquaintances that the master himself built during about 50 years of its artistic career.
