17th Century Carved Wooden Saint Pope Sculpture, Antique Religious Art
Located in NICE, FR
This 17th-century wooden sculpture depicts a Saint Pope. Standing with a commanding presence, the figure wears the papal tiara and a richly draped robe, both remnants of its original polychrome still subtly visible in warm, aged tones of red and ochre. The sculpture radiates solemnity, capturing the spiritual gravitas.
Carved from wood the Pope’s face is stern yet compassionate, framed by the traditional papal crown. His arms are raised in a once-blessing gesture—though the hands have been lost over time, the posture still conveys benediction.
The stylized drapery and vertical form suggest it may have once adorned a church altar or devotional niche.
The wear and patina accumulated over centuries only add to its sacred aura and historical significance.
This Saint Pope sculpture is ideal for collectors of religious art, baroque devotional objects, or antique European sculpture.
