Description

Let yourselves be captivated by the serene majesty of Saint Margaret, a masterpiece of carving that captures the essence of faith and devotion. This sculpture is a hymn to the craftsmanship of Val Gardena, where every fold of the drapery and every line of the face are sculpted with centuries-old mastery.

The figure stands in a contemplative pose, enveloped in a cloak of intense red and sumptuous golden drapery that enhances its nobility. The chromatic contrasts, obtained through skillful hand-applied polychromy, give life and depth to the statue, making the gold borders and the base particularly vibrant. The delicate and serene expression embodies the strength of faith and the grace of the martyr.

The Saint holds a fish and a cross in her hands, unmistakable symbols of the Christian faith.

The quality and choice of material reflect Dolfi's commitment to excellence. This sculpture is made of maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm, the ideal choice to ensure maximum definition of the smallest details. For more imposing dimensions (from 56 cm upwards), linden wood is used, known for its stability and its ability to enhance the forms and volumes of large sacred works.

Detail & Meaning
1) Iconography: Cross, fish.
2) Meaning: The cross symbolizes Christian faith and victory over evil; the fish, in reference to the dragon that swallowed her and rejected her, represents her miraculous salvation and her resilience in the face of martyrdom.
Story
Saint Margaret of Antioch, or Marina, was a shepherdess converted to Christianity, cast out by her pagan father. She refused the advances of the prefect Olybrius and was tortured for her faith. Legend has it that she faced a dragon, which swallowed her but was forced to vomit her thanks to the cross she held. She miraculously survived fire and drowning, converting many before being beheaded. Her story, popular in the Middle Ages, symbolizes courage and resilience. Celebrated on July 20, she is one of the fourteen Holy Helpers and inspired Joan of Arc, promising indulgences to those who remember or invoke her.
