Hand-Carved in Linden Wood or Fiberglass St. Matthew the Apostle Statue | Made in Italy
This exquisite St. Matthew the Apostle Statue is a masterful representation of one of the twelve apostles and the author of the first Gospel. Known for his transformation from a tax collector to a devoted follower of Christ, St. Matthew embodies the themes of faith, redemption, and divine calling. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Italy, this statue is available in two exceptional materials: Linden wood and fiberglass, both chosen for their durability and attention to detail.
The Linden wood version showcases the natural beauty of the wood’s grain, allowing for intricate carving that brings St. Matthew’s figure to life with warmth and character. The fiberglass version offers a smooth, polished finish with a lightweight and resilient design, while still capturing all the fine details of the original wood carving. Both versions are hand-painted with meticulous care, highlighting St. Matthew’s serene expression, his modest attire, and the symbols that represent his role as a Gospel writer, often depicted with a book or scroll.
