This majestic sculpture captures the profound spirituality of Saint Celestine V, presenting him with the dignity of pontifical vestments and the simplicity of a hermit. The work is a sublime example of sacral art from Val Gardena, where the carver's skill merges with the richness of the finishing.
Admire the sumptuousness of the burnt Siena earth-colored outer cloak, expertly draped in soft folds that give dynamism to the figure. The borders and the tiara are embellished with meticulous gilded details, masterfully applied to reflect light and accentuate the prestige of the figure. The composed expression and flowing beard, carved with incredible realism, invite contemplation.
Our sculpture of Saint Celestine V is made with the utmost craftsmanship. To ensure perfect definition of details, it is carved in maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm. For more imposing sizes, from 56 cm and above, we use linden wood, which is more suitable for large-format statues. Each piece is entirely hand-painted, transforming the wood into an icon of faith and devotion.
