The Faith Gift Shop 聖フランシスコ・ディ・パオラ像 – イタリア製手描き – 我々のトスカーナコレクション – Estatua de San Francisco de Paola

The hand-painted details on this Saint Francis statue are remarkably fine, especially the folds in his robes. It arrived securely packed and looks lovely on my desk by the window.

The hand-painted details on the face and robes are remarkably delicate, and the Tuscan artisan finish gives it a quiet dignity. It’s now sitting on my desk, a daily reminder of the sea.

As a former sailor, I had to have him for my home office, and the Tuscan craftsmanship really shows in the delicate hand-painted shading of his robes. It’s a solid, beautiful piece that makes me feel connected to the sea even when I’m on land.
