This sculpture captures the figure of Saint Richard Bishop in a moment of deep contemplation. The work is a triumph of the artistic tradition of Val Gardena, expertly crafted to infuse spirituality and beauty into any home or sacred environment.
Observe the richness of the colors that define his figure: from the terracotta red of the outer robes, finely decorated with golden motifs along the edges, to the creamy beige of the inner tunic, which enhances the serenity of the bearded face. Every detail is meticulously cared for, from the precious miter to the golden bands along the drapery, symbols of his episcopal dignity.
The Saint gracefully holds the golden crozier, emblem of his spiritual guidance, while holding an open book on which rests a chalice with the host, a clear reference to the Sacrament and his deep devotion. The posture is humble and solemn, reflecting his life of faith and charity.
Dolfi guarantees the excellence of materials for all available sizes (from 20 cm up to 200 cm). This precious work is made of maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm, renowned for its fineness and compactness, and of lime wood for larger sizes, which allows for majestic and lasting carvings. The careful hand coloring enhances the three-dimensionality of the carving, transforming the wood into a living representation of faith.
