Joseph - Fontanini® 70 Inch Lifesize Masterpiece Collection
70 Inch Scale Joseph by Fontanini Brand: House of Fontanini | Part Number: 57701 The 70 Inch Scale Joseph by Fontanini beautifully portrays Saint Joseph as the faithful guardian of the Holy Family, standing watch with quiet strength, humility, and unwavering devotion. Carrying a lantern in one hand and a shepherd's staff in the other, Joseph symbolizes faithful guidance and protection as he leads his family through the night. As part of the Fontanini 70 Inch Life-Size Nativity Collection, this magnificent figure brings dignity, warmth, and timeless Italian craftsmanship to churches, chapels, schools, outdoor Nativity displays, and grand Christmas presentations. Expertly handcrafted and hand-painted in Italy, Joseph is sculpted with remarkable realism, featuring expressive facial details, naturally flowing robes, and beautifully textured accessories. Rich shades of deep burgundy, warm ivory, and earthy brown are enhanced with subtle hand-painted highlights that emphasize every fold of the garments, the grain of the wooden staff, and the weathered appearance of the lantern. His peaceful expression and humble posture beautifully reflect Joseph's role as the protector of Mary and the Christ Child. Crafted from premium marble-based resin, this heirloom-quality life-size figure is designed for years of indoor or protected outdoor display. Standing in perfect proportion with the 70 Inch Scale Mary (Part #57702), 70 Inch Baby Jesus (Part #57703), and 70 Inch Manger (Part #57704), Joseph completes the Holy Family and becomes an inspiring centerpiece for parish sanctuaries, cathedral displays, schools, municipalities, commercial Christmas exhibits, and collectors seeking exceptional Nativity artistry.

Whether furnishing a church sanctuary or expanding a treasured life-size Nativity display, this magnificent Saint Joseph figure reflects over a century of Italian craftsmanship and devotion. The Fontanini Nativity tradition began more than a century ago in Bagni di Lucca, nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy, where Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in 1908. From humble beginnings, the Fontanini family has become one of the world's most respected creators of heirloom-quality Nativity collections. Each figure is meticulously sculpted, individually hand-painted, and finished by skilled artisans using traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. Today, House of Fontanini.com proudly continues that tradition by offering authentic Fontanini collections directly to churches, collectors, and families throughout the United States. For more than 25 years, we've proudly served as a locally owned Minnesota small business that doesn't simply sell Fontanini—we truly love it.
