Description

Admire the majesty and profound serenity of our statue of Saint Valentine Bishop, a sculpted masterpiece that captures the essence of Val Gardena’s artisan devotion.

The piece is masterfully finished in polychrome, where the brilliant gold and intense red of the episcopal vestments create a contrast of regal splendor. Observe the dynamic drapery of the chasuble and the richness of the details, such as the finely carved crosier and the open book he holds at waist height. The face, framed by a thick beard, expresses a contemplative quietness, amplified by the careful pictorial shading that gives depth and volume, enhancing every fold of the sacred fabric.

This sculpture is available in a wide range of sizes to suit every place of worship or private collection. True to our tradition, the material used is carefully selected: variants up to 56cm are made from precious Maple Wood, known for its fineness and workability. For more imposing sizes, from 60cm upwards, robust Linden Wood is used, ensuring stability and detail even in monumental works. By selecting the "C - Colored maple wood" finish, you will receive a piece entirely hand-painted according to the centuries-old Gardena school.

Story
Saint Valentine, bishop and martyr, is venerated as the patron saint of lovers. His story intertwines legend and reality: it is said that in the 3rd century AD, in Terni, he celebrated secret marriages between young lovers, contravening the edict of Emperor Claudius II, who prohibited unions to encourage military enlistment. The rooster, often associated with Saint Peter, in this context may symbolize vigilance and faith, while the book refers to his wisdom and the spreading of the Christian message. His veneration has spread widely, especially in the Middle Ages, becoming linked to the tradition of exchanging love messages on February 14th, the day of his liturgical memorial.
