Description

Immerse yourself in a moment of pure harmony with this captivating sculpture, which captures the delicate beauty of a young musician maiden. The figure is portrayed in a serene and contemplative pose, her head slightly tilted, as her hands caress the strings of her harp. At her feet, a pair of birds adds a pastoral touch, symbolizing the profound connection between innocence and the natural world.

Every detail is the result of the mastery of our sculptors from Val Gardena. The warm-toned wavy hair, the earthy-colored dress, and the delicate lavender collar are enhanced by expertly hand-painted details. The matte and satiny finish preserves the naturalness of the material, allowing the wood grain to subtly emerge and giving the piece an unmistakable texture.

Crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail, this sculpture is entirely carved from Maple Wood, the preferred material for all our works under 56 cm in size. A choice that guarantees extraordinary fineness of detail and durability that transforms the object into a true family heirloom, inheriting the Alpine artisan tradition.

Detail & Meaning
La fanciulla con l'arpa incarna l'allegoria dell'Innocenza e della Musica come linguaggio universale dell'anima. L'arpa, strumento celestiale per eccellenza, è un potente simbolo di armonia cosmica, elevazione spirituale e ispirazione poetica, spesso associato alla pace interiore e alla contemplazione. La posa della giovane, con lo sguardo abbassato e l'espressione di pacata serenità, suggerisce l'atto intimo della preghiera o della meditazione attraverso il suono. La presenza degli uccelli ai suoi piedi non è casuale: essa rafforza il tema pastorale e la pace terrena, suggerendo che la musica è l'elemento che unisce l'essere umano alla natura incontaminata e al divino.
Story
La rappresentazione di fanciulle e figure femminili in contesti musicali o pastorali è una costante dell'arte popolare e sacra, utilizzata per evocare virtù come la Melodia o la Purezza. Nel contesto dell'artigianato della Val Gardena, queste figure testimoniano l'abilità dei maestri intagliatori di conferire grazia e sentimento anche a soggetti non strettamente religiosi. L'intaglio del legno in Alto Adige, perfezionato nel corso di oltre quattro secoli, ha sempre saputo equilibrare le richieste della fede con la creazione di scene di vita quotidiana idealizzate e ispirate al folklore locale, rendendo omaggio alla bellezza del mondo alpino e alle sue tradizioni musicali e artistiche.
