Stunning Antique Terracotta Saint Catherine Siena Sculpture by G van Vaerenbergh
About the Item
Top quality sculpted and good size terracotta sculpture of a serene Saint Catherine of Siena.
If you are a collector of antique and top-quality works of art in general and of religious artefacts in particular then this hand sculpted lady Saint sculpture could be flying your way soon. Over the decades we have owned and sold a number of great sculptures made of all kinds of materials, but this stunning lady could very well have the most beautifully sculpted, serene face we have ever seen. Perfectly draped in her 'hatwear' and with one of the most realistic and finely handcrafted faces there is a divinity to her presence that will never fail to impress. To us, this work of art sculpture reveals that G. van Vaerenbergh (1873-1927) truly was one of the greatest Belgian (and European) sculptors of his era.
St. Catherine of Siena (1347 - 1380) was canonized in 1461. She was a Dominican tertiary and mystic who is one of the most revered holy women in the Roman Catholic Church. As one of the patron Saints of Italy, she was declared a doctor of the church in 1970 and a patron Saint of Europe in 1999. For anyone to be able to hand-sculpt a perfect and serene face like this out of terracotta (or any other material for that matter) and make it last multiple lifetimes, to us, is like the work of a higher power. The manner in which the cloth falls around her stunning face is incredibly realistic too. Only a true artisan and master sculptor is capable of creating such tenderness, grace and serenity and the perfect coloring makes this sculpture even more attractive and desirable. When taken care of like former owners did, this awesome Saint sculpture can be enjoyed by you and your loved ones for the rest of your lives and by generations after you. She brings beauty, grace and an almost tangible kind of peace, no matter where you decide to have her on display.
