Authentic Spirituality

This sculpture captures the profound spirituality and unconditional love of Saint Francis of Assisi for Creation. Admire the figure of the Saint, dressed in his monastic habit, with the deeply sculpted folds of the fabric conveying a sense of authentic drapery and volume.

His face is painted with a sweet, contemplative expression, his eyes turned with serene benevolence towards the animals surrounding him. The scene is a hymn to harmony: Saint Francis welcomes a small blue bird onto his left hand, while at his feet, a fawn and a wolf gaze up at him in a gesture of mutual respect.

The hand-painting is expertly executed, using warm brown tones for the habit and the animals' bodies, and a touch of bright golden yellow for the rope and the dangling rosary, adding an element of light and devotion. The earthy and irregular base strengthens its connection to nature.

Made with a fine combination of resin and wood powder, this 20 cm sculpture offers the durability and detailed definition typical of Val Gardena craftsmanship, while maintaining the tactile look and elegance of an opaque and entirely hand-painted finish.

Here's the requested description:
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: St. Francis of Assisi figurine in wood pulp, from Val Gardena.
2) Religious meaning: The figure of St. Francis evokes poverty, love for nature and animals, peace and universal brotherhood, central values of Christian spirituality. The origin from Val Gardena underlines the sacred artisanal tradition.

Saint Francis of Assisi, born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone (1181/1182 – 1226), is one of the most beloved and influential saints in Christian history. Founder of the Order of Friars Minor, his life was a hymn to poverty, humility, and love for every creature. After a comfortable youth, he converted radically, dedicating himself to the poor and the reconstruction of churches. His Rule of life, based on the Gospel, inspired millions of people. He is the patron saint of Italy, animals, and ecology, venerated for his message of peace and universal brotherhood, embodied in the "Canticle of the Creatures". His figure continues to inspire devotion and admiration for his profound spirituality and his example of evangelical life.
