Kneeling Wise Men 18 cm, nativity Tripi

Kneeling Wise Men 18 cm, nativity Tripi. Made of terracotta and cloth in the art laboratory of Angela Tripi, Sicily.
After a long journey, after so much effort, he finally reached the goal: his face lights up in front of Baby Jesus. He kneels and looks at him with curiosity and tenderness, the joy he feels is immense. All the 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 an 18 cm nativity scene.
