Admire the majesty of the sculpture of Saint James, a masterpiece of Val Gardena craftsmanship that captures the apostle in a moment of deep contemplation and teaching. The figure stands out for the extraordinary richness of its drapery, sculpted with dynamic volumes and brought to life by an impactful color palette.

Observe the contrast between the intense brick red of the cloak and the anthracite of the tunic, enhanced by brilliant gold leaf details that cross the figure diagonally, a touch of light and sacredness. His expression is serious and the gesture of his right hand, with the index finger pointed, emphasizes the importance of the Gospel depicted in the manuscript he holds in his left hand.

This statue is an expression of the centuries-old Dolfi sculptural tradition, made of maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm and precious lime wood for larger dimensions. Each piece is meticulously crafted to ensure faithful iconography and excellent finishing, a true treasure of faith sculpted in the heart of the Dolomites.
