Admire the majestic and contemplative figure of Saint Hedwig, a sculpture that combines profound spirituality with the artisanal excellence of Val Gardena. The sweet expression and delicate features of the face are enhanced by the rich polychromy, meticulously applied by hand.
The brilliant colors – the slate blue of the mantle, the shiny gold of the borders, and the soft pink of the robe – provide a visual impact of great value. Every drapery is rendered with touching realism, accentuated by details that appear to be embellished with authentic golden paint, giving a slightly satin and precious look. The meticulous rendering of the church model and the open book testify to the mastery of the Dolfi sculptors.
This sacred work of art is available in various finishes, from the traditional Colored (C) which enhances every shade, to the essential Natural wood (N) or Three Shades of Brown (3G) finishes. In accordance with our sculptural tradition, the statue is made of precious woods: we use maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm and switch to robust linden wood for larger sizes. A masterpiece of wood carving that carries centuries of history and devotion.
