The statue of Saint Gregory the Great is a masterpiece of wood carving that evokes solemnity and profound spirituality. The Holy Bishop is depicted in a dynamic and contemplative pose, a symbol of his fervent ecclesiastical activity. Admire the rich chromaticism: the sumptuous reddish-brown of the outer garment is magnificently balanced by the whiteness of the under tunic, enhanced by the embroidery and borders made with golden metallic-effect finishes.
The details are meticulously crafted: from the tall miter with cross decorations, to the golden crozier (characterized by an unusual four-bar cross), to the open book he holds in his left hand. The serene expression, framed by the thick dark beard, gives the figure an aura of authority and wisdom, typical of a Doctor of the Church.
Each piece is the result of the ancient artisan art of Val Gardena, shaped by expert hands that respect centuries of tradition. This sculpture is available in a wide range of sizes, designed for every devotional or collecting need. It is made of maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm, perfect for minute details and pictorial rendering, and of linden wood for larger sizes (from 56 cm upwards), ensuring solidity and grandeur.
