Description

Immerse yourself in contemplation with the statue of Saint Alphonsus Maria de' Liguori, a masterpiece of faith sculpted in the heart of Val Gardena. This sculpture stands out for its rich polychrome finish, which enhances the solemn drapery of the burgundy/dark red robe in contrast with the brightness of the cream beige and the intensity of the golden details. The meticulous application of gold leaf illuminates the crozier, the edges of the robes, and the cruciform emblem on the chest, giving the piece a regal sacredness. The Saint is depicted in a pose of deep meditation, with his gaze fixed on the open book, a symbol of his immense doctrine. Every feature of the face, framed by a thick beard, expresses serenity and devotion.

The creation follows the oldest Dolfi tradition. Depending on the chosen size, the material used always guarantees the highest sculptural quality: the work is finely carved in maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm, ensuring sharp and precious details. For larger variations, from 60 cm upwards, linden wood is used, ideal for its strength and ability to accommodate the rich polychromy.

Available in various finishes, from classic polychrome to natural essence, this sculpture is the perfect expression of alpine sacred art, ready to instill peace and inspiration in any environment.

Detail & Meaning
La figura di Sant'Alfonso Maria de' Liguori è ricca di simbolismo. Il <strong>pastorale</strong> che regge è l'attributo episcopale, rappresentando la sua autorità e il ruolo di "pastore" del suo gregge. Il <strong>libro aperto</strong> è l'elemento iconografico centrale, che simboleggia la sua vasta produzione letteraria e teologica e il suo ruolo di Dottore della Chiesa, noto soprattutto per la "Teologia Morale". La posa contemplativa, con lo sguardo rivolto al testo, sottolinea la sua profonda dedizione allo studio della fede e alla predicazione. La ricchezza delle vesti, in particolare la mitra e i paramenti bordeaux e dorati, riflette la sua dignità ecclesiastica, ma l'espressione umile e serena del volto ne bilancia la solennità, trasmettendo un messaggio di devozione accessibile e profonda.
Story
Sant’Alfonso Maria de’ Liguori (1696 – 1787) fu un vescovo italiano, fondatore della Congregazione del Santissimo Redentore (Redentoristi) e Dottore della Chiesa. La sua opera più influente, la "Theologia Moralis", è ancora oggi un testo fondamentale. Il culto di Sant'Alfonso è particolarmente sentito non solo in Italia ma in tutto il mondo cattolico, essendo un patrono della teologia morale e dei confessori. Le sculture in legno raffiguranti questo santo sono state tramandate di generazione in generazione dagli intagliatori della Val Gardena, che, fin dal XVII secolo, hanno fatto dell'arte sacra il loro segno distintivo, reinterpretando con maestria la spiritualità di figure come Sant'Alfonso. Ogni statua Dolfi è il risultato di secoli di esperienza artigianale alpina.
