Description

Immerse yourselves in majesty and devotion with the sculpture of Saint Matilda, a carving masterpiece crafted entirely by hand following the centuries-old tradition of Val Gardena. The artwork captures the Holy Queen in a standing and contemplative pose, enveloped in sumptuous robes, expertly draped to give volume and scenic movement.

The visual impact is amplified by the richness of the polychromy: the deep burgundy red of the mantle contrasts with the cream color of the dress underneath, enhanced by lavish golden finishes. The crown and the edges of the robes gleam, suggesting the application of patinated gold leaf which increases its artistic value. Her expression is serene and regal, as she gracefully holds her iconographic symbols: in her left hand the model of a church and in her right a book on which rests the sphere of power.

Every detail is expertly chiseled to reflect the piety and regality of the subject. We make this figure in a wide range of sizes, adaptable to any sacred or domestic space, always maintaining sculptural excellence.

Respecting the constructive logic of the Dolomite artisans, the material used is carefully selected: this piece is made of precious maple wood for sizes up to 56cm and sturdy linden wood for larger sizes, ensuring definition and durability in every work.

Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Dress, facial expression, elegant and graceful posture.
2) Religious meaning: The dress and expression reflect the devotion and inner strength of Saint Matilda. Grace and elegance symbolize her purity and holiness, inspiring faith and contemplation.
Story
Saint Matilda of Ringelheim, Queen of Germany in the 10th century, is venerated for her profound faith, charity, and wisdom. Wife of Henry I the Fowler, she distinguished herself for her commitment to the poor and the founding of monasteries and churches. After the death of her husband, she faced family and political challenges with dignity, dedicating herself entirely to religious life. Her figure embodies inner strength, devotion, and the ability to reconcile the regal role with a life of profound spirituality and service. She is the patron saint of families and widows, a symbol of resilience and unwavering faith.
