This magnificent sculpture captures the essence of Saint James the Greater, the pilgrim Apostle, presenting him in an upright and dignified pose, with a serene and contemplative face turned upwards. The work is a chromatic triumph, where the rich burgundy drapery, lined in brilliant gold, envelops the figure, creating deep and realistic folds that enhance its volume and movement.
The cream-colored tunic underneath adds luminosity, while golden details, such as the shell emblems on the shoulders and the embroidery, emphasize the figure's importance. The master sculptors of Val Gardena have infused life into the gestures: the long pilgrim's staff held firmly and the sacred book carefully guarded. Every detail, from the thick beard to the sandals, is hand-carved with extreme skill, testifying to the artisanal mastery handed down from generation to generation.
The meticulous woodworking is a guarantee of authentic Dolfi craftsmanship. This statue is made of maple wood for sizes up to 56cm, perfect for domestic devotion, and precious linden wood for larger sizes, ideal for churches or large environments. It is available in colored (C), natural (N) or three shades of brown (3G) finishes, allowing you to choose the aesthetic result best suited to your environment.
