Description from the seller
Monumental religious statue – Holy bishop with staff – Cast stone / composite – 20th century – 55 × 15 cm
Monumental and expressive religious statue depicting a holy bishop with a mitre and staff, made of stone or cast composite material. With a height of 55 cm, it is a striking and powerful object that immediately attracts attention and serves as an eyecatcher and conversation piece.
The statue is clearly inspired by medieval and Gothic examples, with a frontal posture, a strongly vertical composition, and stylized forms. Such historizing religious images were frequently produced in the 20th century for churches, chapels, schools, and devotional interiors, in which designers deliberately drew on older iconography and style.
The surface shows a well-worn patina and natural wear, giving the sculpture an authentic and timeless appearance. The choice of materials and finish ensures a solid, weighty-feeling object with a strong presence in the space.
Thanks to its size and classic appearance, this sculpture is particularly suitable as a decorative statement piece for a religious collector, a historically inspired interior, or as a characterful object in a hall, niche, or gallery display.
