Art of Bronze was honored to be commissioned to create this custom bronze statue of Saint Charles Borromeo for Saint Charles Parish in California. Crafted through the traditional lost-wax process, this life-size bronze stands as a powerful tribute to one of the Church’s most devoted reformers and protectors of the faith. The sculpture is awaiting final placement.
In this sculpture, Saint Charles is depicted standing in full ecclesiastical wardrobe, his vestments rendered with intricate detail and reverence. The outer garment flows in naturally styled folds, capturing the weight and movement of layered fabric. He wears a zucchetto on his head, identifying his rank within the clergy, and gently holds a crucifix before him — a moment of reflection and devotion beautifully cast in metal. The crucifix features Jesus on the cross, emphasizing Saint Charles’ unwavering commitment to Christ and the Catholic Church.
The entire figure is securely mounted on a bronze base, making it ideal for display in churches, private chapels, academic institutions, and sacred outdoor spaces. Every inch of this sculpture reflects attention to detail, from the quiet expression of contemplation to the graceful stance of the garments at his feet.

Bronze lasts forever and will never rust, warp or contort. It is an alloy (a mixture of metals) and will oxidize over the years. This process will not hurt the statue. In fact, it can enhance the beauty by turning the statue many wonderful shades of greens, blues, whites and yellows.
