"Deposition With Six Figures"
is an original sculpture by William Rodwell, an American artist.
Mr. Rodwell created the piece in 1968 while living and working in Pietrasanta, Italy, in the region of Tuscany. The figures were cast in bronze at the world renowned Tommasi Foundry. The sculpture's base is made of linden wood, while the cross was made from a local wood of unknown variety.
Mr. Rodwell has donated the sculpture to inspire our community and all those who visit our church. He is happily convinced the sculpture has found its rightful home.
Gifted in May 2018 by William Rodwell with the assistance of Jim and Ruth Brantley.
