Let yourselves be embraced by the spirituality and serenity of our Madonna of the World, a sculptural masterpiece that embodies universal tenderness. This representation is a hymn to maternal love, captured in the intimate and peaceful embrace between Mary and the Child Jesus. The expression of the Virgin, with her semi-closed eyes and gently reclined face, conveys a profound contemplative peace, as she supports the sleeping or quiet Child on her arm.
Our master carvers from Val Gardena have brought to life a work of extraordinary realism. Admire the meticulous rendering of the drapery: the dark blue-gray mantle elegantly contrasts with the intense orange-red tunic, creating a play of light and shadow that gives volume and depth. The matte or satin finish enhances the texture of the underlying wood and the mastery of hand-painting, making every detail, from the realistic hands to the Child's blonde hair, vibrant with life.
A distinctive element is the base on which the bare feet of the Madonna rest: a dark sphere dotted with luminous golden-yellow points, evoking a starry sky or a celestial cloud, emphasizing her role as Queen of Heaven and protector of humanity.
According to the ancient wisdom of Val Gardena, the statue is made from precious woods selected for their carving qualities. For the 50 cm size, Maple wood is used, known for its fine and homogeneous grain (variants C and 3G). For all sizes from 60 cm upwards, the sculpture is carved from Linden wood, ideal for large format statues, ensuring stability and an impeccable rendering of pictorial detail.
