This sculpture captures the essence of Saint Anthony of Padua, depicted in a moment of profound intimacy and teaching. The man, clad in the Franciscan monastic habit, tenderly holds the Child Jesus. In one hand, he lifts an open book, a symbol of wisdom and preaching, and in the other, white lilies, an emblem of purity. The composed and serene expression of the Adult merges with the authoritative calm of the Child, who raises his hand in a gesture of universal blessing.
Crafted from colored fiberglass (FC) or in the evocative white variant (FN), this artwork is designed to endure over time while maintaining an extraordinary richness of pictorial details. Every fold of the garment, the facial features, and iconographic symbols, such as the lilies of purity and the dangling rosary, are masterfully hand-painted by our artisans, ensuring a work of great visual impact. The meticulous attention to nuances and the creation of textures, even on materials other than wood, testifies to the high artisanal quality of Val Gardena, perfect for enriching indoor and outdoor spaces in the important sizes of 60 cm and 80 cm.
