Saint Joan Mary de Maillé – Wood Carving from Val Gardena

Immerse yourself in the serene contemplation of Saint Joan Mary de Maillé, a sculpture that captures the essence of devotion and humility. The artist Dolfi has brought this figure to life with a static and reflective pose, where the inclination of the head and the downcast gaze convey a deep spirituality, inviting prayer.

The drapery of the monastic robes is rendered with mastery: the soft folds of the dark mantle and the underlying habit, burnished in warmer tones, create a suggestive play of light and shadow. The details are meticulous: from the pristine veil that frames the youthful and serene face, to the sacred objects held in her hands, such as the simple cross of natural wood and the book surmounted by the golden crown of thorns.

Each statue is an authentic masterpiece, sculpted and finished entirely by hand according to the centuries-old tradition of Val Gardena. To guarantee the highest quality and definition of details, this magnificent work is made of maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm and of precious lime wood for larger sizes, offering an imposing presence and eternal durability to your devotion.
