This majestic sculpture captures the spiritual elegance of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, the patron saint of philosophers and scholars. The work is a triumph of chromatic details, where the intense terracotta red of the tunic blends with the cream white of the undergarment and the splendor of the golden cloak and crown, hand-finished to enhance every fold of the drapery.
The face, framed by wavy hair and surmounted by a refined crown, expresses a profound and contemplative serenity. With a composed and dynamic pose, the Saint supports the broken toothed wheel, a symbol of her miraculous martyrdom. Every detail, from the fluidity of the drapery to the rocky base with golden accents, testifies to the skill of our master craftsmen.
Each piece is hand-carved and hand-painted by the experts of Val Gardena, respecting centuries of tradition. The Colored (C) variants are finished with fine paints that ensure their brilliance and chromatic depth over time, while the Natural (N) variants enhance the vivid grain of the wood.
Materials: This prestigious statue is made of precious maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm and resistant lime wood for larger sizes. This rigorous selection guarantees maximum fidelity to detail and durability even in monumental sculptures.
