The figure of Saint Anthony of Padua is here captured in a moment of profound serenity and spiritual intimacy. The Saint, dressed in the Franciscan monastic habit with the cord with three knots (symbols of the vows), holds the Child Jesus with affection and devotion.
The Child, seated on the open book of the Word, points upwards, recalling Divine Truth, in a powerfully emotional composition. The calm of the Saint's face is accompanied by the iconographic richness of the details: the candid lilies, emblems of purity, and the hanging rosary, a symbol of devotion. Every detail, from the folds of the habit to the attentive expression, is meticulously crafted by the skilled hands of our artisans from Val Gardena, inheritors of a centuries-old tradition of excellence.
The sculpture is available in various precious woods. The "U" variant is made entirely of Italian Olive Wood, known for its unique grain. For all other finishes and colorations, the statue is carved from Maple Wood for smaller sizes (up to 56 cm) and sturdy Linden Wood for larger dimensions. Whether you choose the natural finish or the hand-painted and patinated one, you will receive a work of inestimable spiritual and artistic value, an authentic expression of Dolfi's mastery.
