This photograph print showcases a hand-carved wooden Santo figure created by Ranka S. Woods in the late 1930s. The image, titled "Santo," offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of American decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. The Santo, a traditional representation of Saint Anthony of Padua in Catholic Christianity, stands proudly against a plain background, allowing the intricately carved details to take center stage. The figure's face is serene and expressive, with deep-set eyes and a gentle smile. The robes are meticulously carved, revealing the skill and dedication of the artist's hand. The Santo is not only a work of art but also a functional and decorative piece, reflecting the importance of religious iconography in American homes during this period. The figure's wooden base is simple yet elegant, adding to its overall charm. Ranka S. Woods, the creator of this masterpiece, was a renowned American artist known for her wood carvings, watercolor graphite and gouache on paperboard, and handicrafts. Her works were featured in various galleries and museums across the United States, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This Santo figure, with its vibrant colors and intricate carving, is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of the United States during the 20th century. It is a valuable addition to any collection of American decorative arts, religious art, or heritage items, and a reminder of the beauty and significance of handcrafted objects in our lives.
