Description

Admire the majesty of the statue of Saint Rupert of Salzburg, a work that embodies the profound devotion and excellence of Val Gardena craftsmanship. This sculpture captures the Saint in a moment of serene contemplation, with his gaze directed towards the open book and the small lamp symbolically radiating the light of faith.

Attention to detail is evident in the rich episcopal vestments. The outer mantle (cope) displays a deep red-brown hue, beautifully enhanced by wide golden borders with stylized scroll motifs. The mitre and inner tunic, in a light and bright beige, create a perfect contrast with the imposing crozier and accessories, entirely finished with a precious, smooth, and shiny gilding.

Each piece is the result of expert manual craftsmanship. To ensure maximum fidelity and durability, the work is made of maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm and lime wood for other sizes, respecting the Dolomite sculptural tradition. The hand-painted finish enhances the softness of the robes and the brilliance of the golden symbols, making this statue a focal point of any sacred collection.

Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Saint Rupert with salt cellar.
2) Religious meaning: The salt cellar symbolizes Salzburg, a city founded by Saint Rupert, whose name derives from "salt." Salt, "white gold," represents wealth and vitality, reflecting the saint's importance to the region and the spread of Christianity.
Story
Saint Rupert, 7th-century bishop and missionary, is the founder of Salzburg. Born around 660, he evangelized the Alpine regions, establishing his seat in Juvavum, which he renamed Salzburg, and founding the monastery of St. Peter. He is depicted with a salt container, a symbol of the connection with the city whose name derives from "salt," a vital resource. The Dolfi sculpture in maple wood, hand-painted, captures his holiness and historical importance, with the salt container as a distinctive attribute.
