A sublime expression of maternal tenderness, the statue of the Madonna of the Heart with Child captures the intimacy of a divine embrace that warms the soul. The painted art enhances the garments with a vibrant contrast: the salmon pink of the inner tunic merges with the intense midnight blue of the cloak, embellished with borders and a collar in brilliant gold application that echoes the sheen of metallic gold leaf.
The figure, masterfully carved, features a deep and sinuous drapery that gives volume and a sense of fluid movement, testifying to the centuries-old skill of our sculptors. Every detail, from the hands that delicately support the Child to the sweet, reclined face of the Virgin, is hand-finished with the utmost care and dedication typical of Val Gardena craftsmanship.
The sculpture is offered in different woods, depending on the desired size, ensuring maximum quality and durability. For sizes up to 56 cm, it is crafted from precious maple wood, known for its fine grain and carving resistance; for larger sizes (from 60 cm upwards), robust lime wood is used. The exclusive and precious variant in Italian olive wood is also available, an option that unites faith and nature.
