Admire the intense spirituality captured in our sculpture of St. Louise de Marillac, a masterpiece of Val Gardena craftsmanship. The figure is carved in a pose of deep contemplation: her head slightly bowed, her gaze directed downwards in serene meditation.
The artwork is distinguished by its rich chromaticity, achieved with natural earths and pigments: the warm medium brown tones of the habit elegantly contrast with the dark, almost black, brown of the cloak. Iconographic details, such as the crucifix held in her right hand and the open book in her left, are executed with meticulous precision. The cream-white veil and wimple illuminate her face, emphasizing her expression of humility and devotion.
Each sculpture is a unique piece, hand-finished by master artisans who enhance the wood's texture with a matte, natural finish. To ensure maximum quality in every size, the statue is crafted from fine maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm and sturdy linden wood for larger dimensions. The double-level hexagonal base provides solid and elegant support for this symbol of charity.
