Modern Madonna with Child, Val Gardena Artisanal Wood Sculpture

The Modern Madonna with Child is a minimalist wood carving that shows the Virgin standing and embracing, tenderly cradling the Child at her side. Faces are deliberately smooth and featureless to encourage contemplation, while the flowing drapery and pared-back forms emphasise the work’s calm, formal purity. The dress is offered in salmon pink or terracotta with a subdued grey-blue mantle, accented by refined metallic gold details on the waist sash and a stylised halo at the neck. Carved by artisans in Val Gardena.

Available in several woods and finishes: sculptures up to 56 cm are crafted from maple wood, while those 60 cm and above are in linden wood. Exclusive options include an Italian olive wood finish or painted versions on ash wood.
