Image description

made in Padua, Italy The inscription on the base reads: 'the work of Francesco, goldsmith of Padua'. Although Sant’Agata was a goldsmith, this wooden statuette is his most famous work, already celebrated in the sixteenth century. It was mentioned in Bernardino Scardeone’s history of Padua of 1560 which makes the piece exceptional as wooden sculptures were rarely documented in Renaissance sources.
