This refined relief carving encapsulates the intimate and sacred moment of the Apparition of the Madonna of Lourdes to Saint Bernadette Soubirous. The work is enclosed in an oval frame with an aged gilded and bronzed effect, which lends an aura of ancient devotion and preciousness to the ensemble.
The figures are sculpted with meticulous attention to detail. The Virgin, draped in a cream-white gown with golden trim and azure hues, expresses a celestial serenity as she amiably gazes upon young Bernadette. The girl, in her bright yellow dress, returns her gaze in an act of pure and humble prayer. Symbolic elements such as the hanging rosary and the carved rose complete the scene, enriching the spiritual meaning of the relief.
Crafted entirely in the heart of Val Gardena, this product is a true example of Alpine artistry. Given its 6 cm size, it is carved from precious maple wood, known for its fine grain that allows for the most minute details and delicate chromatic glazes. It is available in three exclusive finishes: the vibrant classic colored finish (C), elegant natural maple wood (N), or the exotic Italian olive wood variant (U).
