Description

Admire the majesty of the sculpture of St. George and the Dragon, a masterpiece of sacred craftsmanship from Val Gardena, made with the meticulous care that distinguishes every Dolfi creation.

This statue captures the triumphant instant when the young warrior, with his elaborate armor in gold and silver tones and a dark red cloak falling from his shoulders, places his left foot on the defeated dragon. The Saint's expression is serene and contemplative, a symbol not only of military victory but of the spiritual triumph of good over evil.

The chromatic details are extraordinarily rich: the dark green dragon lights up with yellow-orange nuances on its belly, in stark contrast to the elegance of the silver and gold armor, embellished with a prominent plume on the helmet. Each piece is hand-painted and finished by expert master painters, who use shading techniques to give unique depth and realism to the fabrics and skin.

In line with our artisanal tradition, this magnificent statue is carved from fine wood. For sizes up to 56 cm, resistant and fine maple wood is used. For larger sizes, from 60 cm up to 200 cm, carving is performed in linden wood, ensuring stability and detail even on a monumental scale. It is available in refined colored (C), natural (N), and three shades of brown (3G) variations.

Story
Saint George, a figure venerated by Christians and Muslims, was born into noble Christian families and became a tribune in Diocletian's army. He defied the emperor by refusing to renounce his faith, enduring atrocious tortures and being beheaded on April 23, 303 AD in Nicomedia. His most famous story sees him defeat a dragon that terrorized a city, saving the princess and converting the inhabitants to Christianity. This legend symbolizes the victory of good over evil. Saint George is the patron saint of numerous countries, including England, and his feast is celebrated on different dates depending on the traditions. He is depicted in armor, often on horseback, piercing the dragon, symbol of the enemies of Christ. His figure embodies courage, unwavering faith and the defense of Christian principles.
