An exceptional example of 18th century Roman religious art, this large, polychrome Santos figure is both spiritually significant and visually arresting. Hand-carved and painted circa 1720, the figure is captured in mid-stride, adorned in stylized, flowing robes rendered in beautifully aged original polychrome. The craftsmanship reveals the movement and grace typical of ecclesiastical sculpture from Rome’s Baroque period, offering a rare glimpse into the devotional artistry of the era.

Standing at 40 inches tall, this painted Santos statue rests atop a period wooden base, making it a powerful focal point for collectors of religious artifacts, antique European sculpture, or those seeking a singular Old World accent for an interior. The expressive form, detailed carving, and time-worn patina enhance its historical authenticity and decorative impact.
