Announcing shepherd sleeping 30 cm, Tripi

Announcing shepherd sleeping 30 cm, Tripi.
The night fell on the pasture, the sheep all gather close together and the shepherd falls asleep before the fire. Suddenly the sky lights up and a strange figure appears: the angel awakens the shepherds and announces to them the arrival of the Savior. All the nativity statues are hand-made, in terracotta and cloth, with skill and care by the Sicilian artist Angela Tripi. Normally the statues of the traditional crib are made with a skeleton made of cloth and with terracotta ends (the head, hands and feet). In his works, the artist tells a story: each statue is depicted in a moment of his life, thus allowing us to understand the existence of a before and after. Characteristic details often emerge as tense muscles of a slave or the expression lines of an elderly person. Angela Tripi succeeds in giving each shepherd an amazing realism, never seen before and unrepeatable: her works will never be the same, precisely because they are unique. Adapted for a 30 cm nativity scene.
