Description

This sublime sculpture captures the essence of Saint Ursula with regal grace and profound serenity. The figure is enveloped in ample and realistic drapery, where the burnt orange/terracotta cloak harmoniously blends with the teal tunic, creating a visually striking contrast. The mastery of the carving enhances the volume and movement of the clothing, giving dynamism to the composed pose.

The face, with its delicate features and contemplative gaze, expresses an unshakable inner peace, while the rich golden crown emphasizes her princely dignity. She is depicted with the symbols of her martyrdom: an arrow, the instrument of her killing, and the palm of martyrdom. Details are meticulously finished, including gold leaf or metallic paint accents on the edges of the dress and on the crown, which catch the light. The statue rests with stability and elegance on multi-layered wooden bases.

Each statue is a masterpiece of Val Gardena craftsmanship, carved and finished with passion according to ancient traditions. The choice of wood guarantees maximum quality and detail in every size: Made of precious maple wood for sizes up to 56cm and linden wood for larger sizes. It is available in the Classic Colored (C) finish which enhances the vibrancy of the pigments, in Natural Wood (N) to appreciate the grain, or in the Three Shades of Brown (3G) finish.

Detail & Meaning
<p>Sant'Orsola è universalmente riconosciuta come la patrona dei giovani, degli studenti e delle scuole. La sua iconografia è ricca di simboli di regalità, fede e cultura. La corona dorata simboleggia la sua origine principesca e la vittoria della fede. La palma, che stringe con eleganza, è il tradizionale emblema del martirio cristiano. La presenza del libro, del rotolo di pergamena e dello stilo sottolinea la sua associazione con l'apprendimento e la saggezza, presentandola non solo come martire ma anche come guida illuminata. La posa eretta e l'espressione calma trasmettono un messaggio di forza interiore e devozione incrollabile di fronte alla prova.</p>
Story
<p>La storia di Sant'Orsola è avvolta nella leggenda, risalente ai primi secoli del Cristianesimo. Secondo la tradizione, era una principessa bretone che, in viaggio con undicimila compagne vergini, fu martirizzata dagli Unni a Colonia dopo aver rifiutato di abiurare la sua fede. Questa narrazione epica ha ispirato innumerevoli artisti nel corso dei secoli, rendendola una figura centrale dell'arte sacra. Le sculture della Val Gardena, come questa, perpetuano questa devozione millenaria, fondendo l'antica leggenda con l'abilità artigianale tramandata di generazione in generazione, mantenendo viva la sua memoria come esempio di purezza, coraggio e protezione per chi intraprende il cammino della fede.</p>
