Description

Discover the imposing sculpture of Saint Stanislaus of Krakow, a carving masterpiece that embodies the artisanal mastery of Val Gardena. This statue has been shaped with care and devotion, capturing the figure of the Holy Bishop with moving solemnity. Its serene and contemplative expression, accentuated by a thick beard, inspires peace and profound reflection.

The Saint is dressed in clerical robes of a rich red-brown tone, splendidly enriched with wide borders and golden details that simulate the preciousness of gold leaf. The long golden crozier, held in his right hand, and the elaborate miter, completed by a shield emblem on his forehead, emphasize his spiritual authority and episcopal dignity. The detail of the open book, held in his left hand, and the closed book on which his foot rests, add symbolic depth to the pose.

Each piece is a testament to Dolfi's excellence. The sculpture is made of maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm and precious linden wood for larger sizes, ensuring impeccable stability and detail rendering in all available variants (from 15 cm to 200 cm). The polychrome finish is hand-painted with masterful skill, enhancing the volumes and the drama of the drapery, transforming the wood into a vibrant and durable art form, perfect for personal devotion or sacred furnishings.

Detail & Meaning
L'iconografia di San Stanislao, spesso raffigurato con la mitria e il pastorale dorato, enfatizza il suo ruolo di guida spirituale e difensore della fede come vescovo di Cracovia. Il libro aperto che regge simboleggia le Sacre Scritture e la predicazione, pilastri della sua missione. Il libro scuro schiacciato sotto il suo piede può rappresentare il superamento delle dottrine terrene o la vittoria della giustizia spirituale contro la tirannia. L'espressione serena e contemplativa, rivolta verso il basso, riflette l'umiltà e la profonda devozione, pur nella sua posizione di potere ecclesiastico.
Story
San Stanislao (1030-1079), noto come Stanisław Szczepanowski, è uno dei più importanti patroni della Polonia e fu vescovo di Cracovia. La sua storia è segnata dal coraggio dimostrato nell'opporsi al re Boleslao II il Coraggioso, criticato apertamente per la sua condotta immorale e tirannica. Il suo rifiuto di sottomettersi al potere temporale portò al suo martirio: fu assassinato, secondo la tradizione, dagli uomini del re (o dal re stesso) mentre celebrava la Messa nella cattedrale. Questo atto lo trasformò in un martire della libertà spirituale e della giustizia. Fu canonizzato nel 1253, rafforzando il suo culto come simbolo della difesa della morale contro l'abuso di potere.
