Description

Admire the majesty and spiritual tranquility embodied in the sculpture of Saint Robert of Newminster, a masterpiece of carving made entirely in our workshop in Val Gardena. The figure is captured in a moment of deep contemplation, with his head slightly bowed as he observes the emblems of his mission.

The chromatic tones are chosen to evoke a deep sacredness: the monastic habit is painted with earthy and warm colors, applied with a translucent finish that enhances the natural beauty of the wood grain underneath. The contrast is accentuated by the vivid red of the book he holds to his chest and the gleaming golden tip of the pastoral staff, symbols of faith and spiritual authority.

Attention to detail is extreme, from the barely visible sandals on his feet to the miniature buildings, each finished with precision. This piece is not just a devotional object, but a testament to the sculptural excellence that has characterized South Tyrol for generations.

Materials and Workmanship: Available in a wide range of sizes, each statue is carved following the highest artisanal standards. It is made of maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm and the sturdier linden wood for larger sizes. This selection ensures maximum durability and fidelity to detail in every format.

Story
Saint Robert of Newminster, who lived in the 12th century, was a key figure for the Church. After studying in Paris, he embraced monastic life, first Benedictine and then Cistercian. He founded Newminster Abbey, of which he was the first abbot, and devoted himself to the creation of new monasteries in England, spreading the Cistercian order. Known for his compassion towards the poor, he died in 1159. His feast day is on June 7th. He is depicted as a Cistercian abbot with a pastoral staff, a model of a church, and a book, symbols of his authority, work as a founder, and wisdom.
