The statue of Saint Adrian of Canterbury is a sublime expression of Val Gardena’s sacred art, a collector’s piece that combines deep spirituality and artisanal mastery. The figure is depicted in all his episcopal dignity, robed in richly decorated vestments.
The polychrome finish immediately captures attention: the deep colors – from burgundy red to dark blue/green – are enhanced by sumptuous golden details. The application of precious gold leaf accents stands out on the crozier, the miter, and the lavish borders of the cope, lending an aura of sacredness and magnificence to the work. The shading and attention to detail, such as the thick wavy beard and the solemn expression, attest to the dedication of our sculptors.
This sculpture is made according to the centuries-old Dolfi tradition. To ensure maximum fidelity and quality in every size, we use selected materials: the work is carved from maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm, an ideal material for intricate details. For larger sizes, starting from 60 cm, we use sturdy linden wood, ensuring stability and grandeur to the figure.
