The Stylized Wooden Madonna and Child is a manifestation of contemporary faith, where sacredness meets minimalist elegance. Masterfully sculpted, this work captures the tenderness and intimacy of the maternal embrace through smooth, elongated forms, typical of the most refined craftsmanship of Val Gardena.
The work stands out for its unique finish: an opaque glaze that alternates a delicate blue-green with natural beige tones, intelligently allowing the precious wood grain to show through. This finish is enhanced by subtle and precious golden lines. These details, skillfully applied (similar to gold leaf), elegantly delineate the drapery and contours, imparting a sense of light and spiritually expressed in a modern way.
Materials and Craftsmanship: This sculpture is the result of ancient sculptural art, made entirely by hand and offered in a wide range of sizes. To ensure maximum fidelity of detail in every dimension, the wood essence varies: smaller variants, up to 56 cm (including 15, 20, 30 cm), are carved from Maple Wood. For imposing dimensions, from 60 cm up to the majestic 200 cm, the work is carved from the more robust and lighter Linden Wood, maintaining the unaltered Dolfi sculptural quality.
