Let yourselves be touched by the profound spirituality and artisanal mastery contained in this sculpture of Saint Martin the Bishop. The figure is sculpted in a solemn and contemplative pose, with his gaze directed towards the act of reading or the goose at his feet, conveying a sense of humility and devotion.
Attention to detail is evident in the richness of the sacred vestments. The outer robes in ruby red-brown are enhanced by wide borders and meticulous details in a polished gold finish, applied with techniques reminiscent of ancient gold leaf. The miter and crozier, entirely gilded and richly carved with an intricate spiral volute, emphasize the Saint's episcopal authority.
Each sculpture is a masterpiece of the Val Gardena sculptural tradition, available in colored or natural finishes. The material is carefully chosen to enhance every dimension: sizes up to 56cm are carved from maple wood, famous for its fine grain and sculptural precision, while larger sizes (from 60cm upwards) are made from sturdy linden wood, ensuring stability and visual impact even in monumental formats.
