    ANTIQUE STATUE OF SAINT RITA OF CASCIA

    175,00 €

    Statue of Saint Rita of Cascia, late 1600s.

    An intriguing wooden statue of Saint Rita.

    Saint Rita of Cascia is one of the most beloved saints in the Catholic Church, known as the patroness of impossible cases and those in desperate situations.

    Rita was a nun in the Augustinian convent in Cascia, central Italy. From an early age, she displayed profound spiritual devotion, despite being married to a difficult and violent husband, whom she eventually converted through her faith. After his violent death and the loss of their two sons, she entered the convent, where she spent the rest of her life in prayer and penance. Around the age of sixty, while meditating on Christ’s suffering, she received a partial stigmata in the form of a wound resembling a thorn from Christ’s crown on her forehead. She bore this wound until her death. After her passing, her body remained incorrupt, placing her among the “incorruptibles” in Catholic tradition. Her body is still preserved and venerated at the Basilica of Saint Rita in Cascia, which has become an important pilgrimage site. Relics of Saint Rita are also preserved in other churches worldwide, especially in Italy and the USA.

    Saint Rita is the patroness of those in hopeless situations, as well as of loneliness, infertility, widows, women in difficult marriages, parents, orphans, the sick, and those suffering physical wounds. Due to her extraordinary faith and sacrifices, she is also venerated as a symbol of hope during life’s most challenging moments.

    SATSUMA VASE

    185,00 €

    Satsuma vase.

    Satsuma is a type of Japanese pottery originating from the Satsuma province. Today, it can be divided into two different categories: the original plain dark clay from early Satsuma, produced in Satsuma around 1600, and elaborately decorated export Satsuma in ivory color, which began to be produced in the nineteenth century in various Japanese cities. The presented piece is from a later period, but since the manufacturer's mark is not visible or cannot be found, the exact age is challenging to determine. Dimensions: 46.5 cm Weight: 2.14 kg The vase is somewhat worn; hand-painted decoration is worn, and there is a minor crack at the top of the vase, which does not continue or in any way affect its function. Still, it remains a beautiful decorative piece with a rich history.

He operated based on his principles, without adhering to the norms and designs of his time. Engaging in various aesthetic disciplines, including painting, drawing, graphic design, and product design, Fornasetti reached the height of his creativity in the 1950s. Encouraged by Gia Ponti, he opened his studio in Milan, where he designed and crafted everyday objects enriched with decorations that brought art into the homes of ordinary people. Recognized as an artist ahead of his time, Piero Fornasetti made a significant contribution to the renewal of taste and the creation of a unique and immediately recognizable visual language in contemporary culture. Dimensions: 27 x 21 cm Weight: 2.1 kg The vase is in excellent condition, with some minor wear on the gold color in certain areas.
