Saint Genevieve in wood

Saint Genevieve, a revered figure for her holiness and example of virtuous life, represents a symbol of faith and devotion that can enrich and inspire any environment in which she is placed. This hand-carved wooden sculpture, carefully and masterfully hand-painted, captures the essence and spirituality of Saint Genevieve in every detail. The vibrant oil colors bring her figure to life, conveying a sense of peace and serenity to anyone who contemplates it. In addition to being an icon of faith, Saint Genevieve is known as the patron saint of Paris, protector of sheep, and a symbol of strength and protection for the city. Her relics are housed in the church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, bearing witness to the deep cult and devotion accorded to her. Represented in multiple forms, such as a shepherdess, with a goose by her side, in religious attire, or with the palm of martyrdom, Saint Genevieve continues to be a source of inspiration for many throughout the centuries. Choosing a sculpture of Saint Genevieve is not only an act of appreciation for art and spirituality but also an opportunity to have a focal point of devotion and inspiration in one's own life.
