Immerse yourself in the artisan mastery of Val Gardena with this imposing sculpture of Saint Nicholas of Flüe. The figure stands in a dynamic yet contemplative pose, enveloped in a cloak with deep and voluminous folds, which enhance its chromatic richness.
Admire the visual effect of the polychromy: the sober tunic contrasts beautifully with the terracotta red of the outer cloak and, above all, with the shimmering polished gold details that embellish its lining, simulating a precious gold leaf. The serene expression, long beard, and austere headdress give the face an aura of profound spirituality, while the bare feet rest on a rocky base.
Crafted according to the centuries-old South Tyrolean sculptural tradition, this statue is carved entirely from precious linden wood. This material, specially chosen for the significant sizes available (starting from 60 cm), allows our artisans to sculpt every minimum detail with precision and vigor. Every detail, from the open scroll in the hand to the staff adorned with a golden pommel and a silver bell, is hand-carved and meticulously finished, transforming the wood into a sacred work of art of inestimable value.
