The sculpture of Saint Blaise the Bishop is a masterpiece of sacred art that embodies the skill of the sculptors of Val Gardena. This imposing figure captures attention thanks to the rich drapery of the robes, enhanced by a vibrant and detailed polychrome finish.
The saint stands in a pose of contemplation and blessing, wrapped in a scarlet mantle that contrasts magnificently with the golden stole and the indigo blue tunic, finely decorated. Details such as the elaborate miter, the golden crozier, and the open book he firmly holds are carved with a precision that testifies to the artisanal care employed. The serene expression, with downcast eyes, communicates peace and deep spirituality.
Each piece is the result of entirely manual processing, according to the centuries-old tradition of alpine wood carving. Depending on the chosen size, this work of art is made of maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm and linden wood for other sizes. By choosing the colored finish (C), the work is hand-painted with high-quality oil paints, or by opting for the 3G finish, the sculpture is finished with three intense shades of brown, enhancing the natural grain of the wood. An icon of faith and beauty destined to last over time.
