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