Saint John
polychrome wood sculpture
h 82 cm
With a hard and nervous carving, characteristic of the wood artists active in the Alpine area, Saint John is dressed in a robe and a long cloak, tied on his chest, falling in folds of broken lines. The hands clasped in a prayerful attitude, the ecstatic face, with a prominent jaw and characterized by severe features, is framed by locks
brown and ringed.
