Immerse yourself in devotion and craftsmanship with the statue of Saint Hugh of Grenoble, a masterpiece of sacred sculpture carved and hand-painted by the artists of Val Gardena. This ecclesiastical figure is depicted in a pose of deep contemplation, with his gaze directed towards the open book he holds in his hands, symbolizing his wisdom and the Rule. He wears rich garments in warm, earthy tones – a luminous cream and a deep reddish-brown – embellished with wide borders and gold leaf details.
Attention to detail is evident: from the elaborate volute of the golden crozier he firmly holds, to the solemnity of the miter and the dynamic folds of his vestment that give volume and movement. Every line, every shade of color, reflects the artisan's dedication to conveying the Saint's spirituality. The carefully applied gilded finish appears bright and reflective, enhancing the preciousness of the work on wood with a velvety texture.
Precious Materials: To ensure maximum fidelity and sculptural quality in every size, this statue is made of maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm. For larger sizes, from 60 cm and above, linden wood is used, the ideal choice to ensure structural stability and the perfect enhancement of the carving even in large format works. A timeless piece, perfect for prayer and sacred furnishing.
