Description

Admire the majesty of the sculpture of Saint Gualtiero, a masterpiece that embodies spiritual strength and devotion, shaped by the expert hands of Val Gardena artisans.

This representation captures the Saint in a dynamic and upright pose, dressed in imposing armor, a symbol of his battle for faith. The attention to detail is sublime: the armor is expertly painted with finishes that simulate polished silver and bronzed gold, creating a magnificent contrast with the rich draping of the dark red cloak, lined in golden yellow.

The almond-shaped shield is an iconographic triumph, divided by a golden cross and decorated with lily (fleur-de-lis) motifs on a petrol green background. Every brushstroke and every incision on the rocky base testifies to entirely manual craftsmanship.

Given its impressive range of sizes, available from 60 cm up to 200 cm, this sculpture is made from precious linden wood. This material is chosen for its stability and its ability to enhance the perfection of sculptural details, guaranteeing a piece of sacred art of inestimable value and durability.

Detail & Meaning
Nonostante l'imponente armatura e la lancia impugnata, l'espressione di San Gualtiero è caratterizzata da una profonda serenità e contemplazione. Questa scelta artistica trasmette l'idea del "Miles Christi" (Soldato di Cristo), enfatizzando non la violenza fisica, ma la forza spirituale e la pace interiore raggiunta attraverso la fede. Lo scudo decorato e le vesti da guerriero simboleggiano la difesa costante della virtù e della verità contro le avversità spirituali.
Story
San Gualtiero (o Walter) è un nome associato a diversi santi nella tradizione cristiana, tra cui l'Abate di Fondi. La sua storia è legata a una vita di rigore e dedizione monastica. Sebbene i santi con questo nome non siano primariamente militari, la loro rappresentazione in armatura nell'arte sacra è un simbolo potente della lotta spirituale che ogni fedele è chiamato a compiere. La venerazione di San Gualtiero si celebra tipicamente il 13 maggio o il 3 giugno.
