Description

This enchanting sculpture captures a moment of pure, rustic tenderness. The child, with his serene expression and chubby cheeks, is depicted in an act of gentle offering, his loving gaze directed towards the vibrant bouquets of flowers he holds. The craftsmanship of Val Gardena shines through in the meticulous care of every detail: from the dynamic flow of his coppery hair to the rich chromaticity of his clothes, in earthy and brick-orange tones.

The skill of hand-painting enhances the botanical art, where red and yellow roses contrast with delicate blue-violet forget-me-nots, all emerging from realistically carved stems and leaves. Small details such as the terracotta pot and the handle of a gardening tool add depth and uniqueness to the scene.

Crafted according to the Dolfi tradition, this figurine, available in sizes of 5 cm and 7.5 cm, is carved from precious Maple wood, chosen for its fine grain that allows for absolute precision in rendering the smallest details, from the fingers gripping the flowers to the veins of the leaves. Each piece is entirely hand-painted with matte finishes that enhance its natural beauty.

Detail & Meaning
Il soggetto del bambino che porge dei fiori incarna un profondo simbolismo di innocenza, speranza e generosità. L'atto di offrire doni floreali è universalmente riconosciuto come un segno di amore puro, gratitudine e devozione. Il suo sguardo abbassato e l'espressione serena non solo trasmettono umiltà, ma invitano anche alla contemplazione della bellezza e della fragilità della natura. I dettagli come l'attrezzo da giardinaggio e il vaso rimandano al concetto di cura, crescita e al legame armonioso tra l'uomo e il creato, simboleggiando uno spirito premuroso e attento.
Story
Questa tipologia di scultura, pur non essendo strettamente sacra, si inserisce perfettamente nella secolare tradizione dell'intaglio in Val Gardena, che ha formalizzato la sua arte a partire dal XVII secolo. Sebbene la produzione iniziale fosse incentrata su figure religiose, gli artigiani locali ampliarono presto il repertorio per includere scene di genere, figure allegoriche e, in particolare, raffigurazioni di bambini in contesti naturali. Questi soggetti non solo celebravano l'innocenza e la vita quotidiana, ma permettevano anche agli scultori di dimostrare la loro maestria tecnica, in particolare nella resa dei dettagli come i panneggi e i motivi botanici. Statuine come questa continuano a tramandare l'abilità artigianale della valle, celebrando temi universali di amore e bellezza.
