Lepi - Original Woodcarvings - Sculpture, Madonna con Bambino - 60 cm - Wood

Made in the typical style of the Val Gardena artisanal tradition (Lepi Wood Carvings), with a height of 60 cm:
Soggetto and Iconography: The statue depicts a Madonna with Child standing on a shaped and elevated base. The female figure gently holds the Baby Jesus in her arms, of whom the lower part of the body wrapped in white swaddling bands and the arms can be seen.
Attire and Details: The Madonna wears an inner garment of a deep red color with wide puff sleeves, topped by a large mantle characterized by deep and dynamic folds. The mantle features a refined chromatic combination, with the outside gray-blue and the inside richly gilded, creating a strong visual contrast and enhancing the three-dimensionality of the fabrics. At the feet one glimpses simple sandals.
Workmanship and Finish: The work stands out for the meticulous attention to detail typical of Gardena wood sculpture, with a lively polychromy but warm tones, enriched by gold leaf finishes applied to the edges of the drapery and on the base. The base itself presents a molded bi-color structure (dark with gilded profiles) that lends stability and elegance to the whole.
Dimensions: With its 60 cm height, the sculpture has a remarkable presence, ideal for sacred furnishing as well as for wooden art collecting.
