This majestic sculpture captures the essence of peace and devotion through the figure of Saint Francis of Assisi. The work is a hymn to serene spirituality, depicting the Patron Saint of Italy in an upright and contemplative pose.
The sculptor from Val Gardena has managed to infuse life into the wood, meticulously modeling the ample folds of the habit, tied at the waist by a simple white rope. The expression on the face, enriched by a well-groomed beard and tonsure, is one of profound humility and acceptance. The gaze, directed downwards, conveys a sense of quiet reflection.
The focal point of the composition is the right hand, which delicately cradles a small white bird, a symbol of purity and Saint Francis's indissoluble bond with creation. The finish, characterized by earthy and opaque tones, enhances the organic nature of the material and the modesty of the figure.
True to the Dolfi tradition, this imposing sculpture is handcrafted with Linden Wood for all available sizes (60 cm, 80 cm, 100 cm, 120 cm, and 150 cm). Each piece is carved and painted by our artisans, ensuring a sacred work of art of exceptional quality and deep emotional resonance.
