This majestic statue captures the spiritual essence of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in a gesture of profound welcome and blessing. The figure stands with an expression of serene benevolence, palms open and facing forward, inviting contemplation and conveying an immediate sense of peace and spiritual refuge.
The artisan craftsmanship of Val Gardena shines through in the accurate carving, visible in the realism of the faces and the elaborate drapery of the red-orange mantle and light tunic. The folds of the fabric create an effect of volume and dynamism, skillfully enhanced by the painting with shading.
The emotional focal point of the work is the Sacred Heart, placed in the center of the chest. It is rendered with metallic gold finishes that radiate light, surmounted by scarlet flames and a triumphant cross, surrounded by a golden band that simulates the crown of thorns. Details such as the belt and the edges of the tunic's collar are embellished with delicate gold leaf finishes.
True to the Dolfi constructive logic for large format works, for all available sizes (from 60 cm to 150 cm), this sculpture is entirely made of precious Linden Wood. This wood, chosen for its stability and fine grain, is ideal for carving monumental works. It is possible to choose between the "C" hand-painted finish or the "N" natural finish, which enhances the pure beauty of the material.
