The icon of Divine Mercy, masterfully carved by the artisans of Val Gardena, captures the essence of spirituality in a representation of profound serenity. This statue of Merciful Jesus radiates visible peace, thanks to its upright posture and mild facial expression, with eyes turned forward to bless the observer.
The heart of the sculpture is the emanation of rays of light, faithfully reproduced in salmon pink and light blue colors, symbols of Blood and Water. They stand out against the ivory robe with an effect of dynamic and three-dimensional movement. A detail of invaluable worth is the central halo: a polished, gold leaf gilt finish that contrasts beautifully with the opacity of the hand-painted surfaces, accentuating the focal point of divine grace.
Each piece is a unique work of art. The colored finish highlights the expert brushstrokes that bring the details to life, from the realistic folds of the drapery to the discreetly represented stigmata. Dolfi quality is expressed in the choice of wood to ensure maximum durability and definition: this sculpture is made of maple wood for all sizes up to 56 cm and linden wood for larger sizes, from 60 cm up to 200 cm, ideal for large sculptural works.
