Description

The iconic statue of St. Germanus of Paris is a masterpiece of carving that captures the essence of devotion and spiritual authority. Carved following the ancient and renowned artistic tradition of Val Gardena, this representation of the Holy Bishop radiates a regal and deeply contemplative presence.

Admire the richness of details and finishes: St. Germanus is dressed in sumptuous episcopal vestments, characterized by a polychrome finish that alternates the deep reddish-brown of the cape with the creamy white of the tunic underneath. The entire figure is enhanced by extensive applications of brilliant gold leaf, which give a precious and luminous appearance to the crozier, miter, and the rich decorative borders with volute motifs.

Entirely handcrafted by our master artisans, this sculpture is available in a wide range of sizes, perfect for display in sacred or domestic spaces. Following our high cabinet-making logic, the material used is maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm and linden wood for larger sizes, ensuring in every case perfect craftsmanship, lightness, and exceptional durability.

Story
