Admire the spiritual power of Saint Paul the Apostle in this splendid pictorial icon. The half-bust portrait captures the Apostle to the Gentiles with his iconic attire: a vibrant, expertly draped magenta red cloak over a dark green tunic. The masterful use of chiaroscuro lends depth and realism to the folds of the fabrics and to the serious and contemplative expression of his bearded face.
The image, enriched by a subtle golden halo and a sword, a symbol of his unwavering faith, is set in an exceptionally crafted decorative frame. The frame, with its light and opaque hue, features an elaborate carving of floral and arabesque motifs, radiating from the oval center in a symmetrical star-like shape. This complex and precise workmanship, typical of the finest artisanal tradition of Val Gardena, enhances the sacredness of the subject, transforming the 15 cm object into a true devotional jewel for your home or sacred space.
