Statue of Saint Francis and the wolf in hollow resin, 80 cm

Splendid statue of Saint Francis of Assisi with the Wolf of Gubbio, one of the most famous and moving episodes from the Franciscan Fioretti, a universal symbol of peace, reconciliation, and love for Creation.  

This imposing 80 cm-high sculpture is made of high-quality hollow resin, a production technique that creates a solid, finely detailed, and durable figure while keeping it lightweight and easy to handle.

The depiction captures the Little Poor Man of Assisi in an attitude of paternal and serene benevolence: he wears the classic brown habit cinched with the characteristic white three-knotted cord, with a rosary hanging at his side. One hand rests on his chest as a sign of humility, while the other extends gently toward the wolf, crouching at his feet with its gaze turned upward, now completely tamed. The careful detailing of the Saint's face, the texture of the animal's coat, and the delicate shades of the artisan-painted finish give the entire work a powerful visual and emotional impact. Resting on a sturdy stone-effect base, it is a sacred and highly prestigious presence for homes, parishes, convents, or prayer corners.
