Admire the intense spirituality emanating from the statue of St. Gerold, a masterpiece of wood carving from Val Gardena. Every detail is a tribute to the highest sacred art: from the meditative pose, with his head bowed and gaze directed downwards, to the serious and thoughtful expression that instills a sense of profound wisdom.
The artist has managed to infuse dynamism into the ample tunics, sculpting rich drapes adorned with earthy colors, alongside vibrant burgundy and pale salmon pink. The contrast is magnificently enhanced by the wide borders of the cloaks and the ornamentation of the staff, finished with a brilliant golden finish or gold leaf that captures the light, highlighting the symbols of his pilgrimage, including the silver bell.
The sculpture is handcrafted from the precious woods typical of our valley, worked by expert artisans who meticulously craft every detail, from the folds of the garments to the bare feet resting on the rock. Available in a wide range of sizes, this work is crafted from maple wood for variants up to 56 cm, ensuring extraordinary detail, and from linden wood for larger sizes, which provides lightness and structural stability.
