Description

Let yourself be touched by the protective serenity of the Good Shepherd sculpture. This magnificent work of sacred art, crafted by the skilled hands of Val Gardena artisans, captures a moment of profound tranquility and care.

The figure is dressed in a muted olive green tunic and a terracotta-colored cloak, whose soft and realistic drapes are sculpted with surprising realism. The contemplative expression, the blessing gesture of the right hand, and the basket full of grapes and fruits symbolize abundance and divine protection, while a small lamb docilely crouches at his feet.

Following Dolfi's rigorous tradition for small and medium-sized sculptures, this statue is carved from maple wood, prized for its fine grain and ability to retain the smallest details, such as the wavy hair and thick beard. Each piece is finely hand-painted with matte finishes, enhancing the natural texture of the wood and ensuring a work of sacred craftsmanship that honors the centuries-old sculptural tradition of Val Gardena.

Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Shepherd, sheep.
2) Religious meaning: The Shepherd symbolizes Christ, the Good Shepherd who guides and protects his flock (the faithful). The sheep represent the faithful, in need of care and spiritual guidance.
Story
The Shepherd carved in maple wood, while not associated with a specific saint, evokes the figure of the biblical shepherd, a symbol of humility, care, and guidance. His presence in the Nativity scene refers to the Gospel narrative of the Nativity, where the shepherds were the first to receive the announcement of the birth of Jesus and go to worship him. They represent the simple and devout people, who accept the divine message with faith. The veneration for the shepherd in the Nativity context translates into appreciation for his dedication to the flock, a metaphor for pastoral care and spiritual guidance.
