San Francisco de Asís con pájaros — tallado a mano por Walter Bacher para ANRI, Val Gardena, Italia. The mouth is slightly open — he is speaking to the birds, not posing with them. One sits on his shoulder, two rest in his cupped hand, and the figure has been carved to make this feel entirely natural: a man in mid-conversation with creatures that have simply decided to stay. The stigmata wound is painted on his raised palm in red — a small, precise detail that identifies both the saint and the seriousness of the commission. Walter Bacher's work for ANRI brought a particular directness to religious subjects. The Franciscan habit falls in broad, unsentimental folds, the rope cord knotted with individual braid detail. The tonsure is carved, the face carries real expression. The back is finished as completely as the front, the circular rock base worked with individual striations throughout. ANRI ceased all production in 2018. This piece will never be made again.
