Description

Let yourself be enveloped by the majesty and profound spirituality of the Sculpture of Saint Gerard Bishop, a hand-carved masterpiece that carries the soul of Val Gardena craftsmanship.

This statue captures the Saint in a moment of serene contemplation. Observe the imposing red robe with rich and flowing drapery, which contrasts with the purity of the mitre and the luminosity of the golden details – from the elaborate curl of the crosier to the decoration of the open book, a symbol of his wisdom and the divine Word.

The polychrome finish is executed with meticulous care, enhancing the expression of profound piety on the bearded face, whose eyes are closed in silent prayer. Every line, every fold of the fabric, is the result of the Dolomite sculptural tradition, handed down from generation to generation. Offered in a wide range of sizes and finishes, from hand-painted (C) to natural tones (N) or tricole (3G), this sculpture fits perfectly into any sacred or domestic environment.

Reflecting authentic Dolfi art, the material is carefully selected: Made of maple wood for sizes up to 56cm and linden wood for other sizes, ensuring lasting quality and resistance in every format.
