Admire the sculpture that embodies the serenity and profound faith of Saint Rita of Cascia. This representation captures the "Saint of the Impossible" in a moment of intense contemplation, with her head slightly bowed and hands clasped to her chest, holding a simple wooden crucifix.
The sweet and meditative expression, combined with the mastery of the sculpture, conveys immediate peace. The figure is dressed in the sober Augustinian habit, hand-painted in earthy tones, following the refined Tyrolean painting tradition.
Every detail, from the fold of the veil to the drape of the habit, is enhanced by the precious frame that surrounds it. This decorative element is a masterpiece of carving, characterized by an elaborate design of volutes and floral motifs that give the work an unmistakable Baroque splendor.
Made entirely in the workshops of Val Gardena, this 15 cm statue is carved from precious Birch Plywood, the excellent choice for small-sized works. This wood, known for its fine grain and resistance, perfectly accepts oil paint, ensuring a durability and beauty that defy time.
