Saint Giovannino Triumphs Over Evil
Polychrome wooden sculpture with glass eyes, height 54 cm (base to crown).
The young Saint John the Baptist is depicted in the iconography of the “Triumphant Little Saint John,” trampling the serpent—a symbol of sin—which wraps around the devil’s head
In his right hand he holds the processional cross, and in his left, the silver bucket, symbols of baptism and redemption
The chiseled silver halo completes the composition, a refined work of the 18th-century Neapolitan school
A work of intense expressiveness and profound devotional significance.
