This composition of the Holy Family captures the essence of tranquility and divine protection. A work that goes beyond simple representation, becoming a tangible symbol of unconditional love and faith that illuminates the path.
At the center, Mary is seated in a gesture of supreme tenderness, her head gently bowed as she cradles the Infant Jesus, who sleeps peacefully wrapped in blue swaddling clothes. Her serene face and the brick-red and petrol-green robes radiate a deep, maternal peace.
At her side, the imposing but reassuring figure of Saint Joseph watches over his family. With bare feet, a symbol of humility, he holds his pilgrim's staff in one hand and a lantern in the other, casting a warm yellow-orange glow, illuminating the scene in the night. The rich drapery of the garments, sculpted with deep folds, adds volume and dynamism, enhancing the artisanal mastery of Val Gardena.
Dolfi Materials: This precious 15 cm sculpture is made from paste of wood. The coloring is expertly applied with opaque and semi-gloss tones that give the work a refined antique and rustic effect, making every detail vibrant and long-lasting.
