Description

Admire the majesty of the sculpture of Saint Gotthard Bishop, a masterpiece of sacred craftsmanship from Val Gardena. This work captures the figure of the Saint in a pose of deep contemplation and spiritual authority. The opulent and richly draped vestments are painted in a warm crimson red, beautifully contrasting with the brilliance of the stole and the golden ornaments that enhance his episcopal dignity.

Every detail is meticulously crafted, from the ornate miter to the rich golden crozier, and the book the Saint holds in his hand, a symbol of the divine Word. The serene expression, with downcast eyes, gives the figure an aura of deep spiritual contemplation, making it a focal point of devotion in any setting.

The sculpture of Saint Gotthard is available in different finishes, including classic color (C), natural (N) or with three shades of brown (3G). To ensure maximum sculptural fidelity and quality, we use precious wood: it is made of maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm and linden wood for larger sizes. All polychrome variants are entirely finished and hand-painted by our master craftsmen, perpetuating a centuries-old tradition of South Tyrol.

Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Saint Goffredo with book and dog.
2) Religious meaning: The book symbolizes wisdom and the Word of God, often an attribute of learned saints or founders of orders. The dog, a symbol of fidelity and loyalty, can represent spiritual guidance or protection against evil, or even the devotion of the saint.
Story
Saint Geoffrey, bishop of Amiens in the 12th century, is revered for his profound spirituality and his commitment to monastic reform. His figure is often associated with the book, a symbol of his wisdom and his dedication to the study of the Holy Scriptures, and the dog, which represents fidelity and spiritual guidance. His life was an example of humility and charity, dedicating himself tirelessly to the well-being of the poor and the spread of the faith. His veneration spread rapidly, testifying to the impact of his work and his sanctity.
