Moor Wise Man 30 cm Angela Tripi terracotta

Moor Wise Man 30 cm Angela Tripi terracotta.
The Wise Man, after an extremely tiring journey, approaches our Savior ready to adore him and to offer the gift contained in the box that he carries with his right arm, which is flexed and you can see his muscle. The man is dressed in regal, finely crafted clothes.The face of the Wise Man is evidently tired, but we can see how the effect of the vision of the child Jesus gives him serenity and relief.Each statue of Angela Tripi is a unique piece, a work of art full of details and expressive force. This is possible thanks to the technique with which her works are made: normally the terracotta statues are built starting from a skeleton that is covered with clothes and in which hands, feet and head are applied to the extremities of the limbs, the statues of Angela Tripi have a fully formed body, are modeled naked and then dressed in clothes and jewels, giving the statues an impressive realism.The details are stunning as expression lines, tendons and fingers emerge which, contrary to what is seen in traditional statues, are open and defined.It is amazing how the statue is not characterized by the traditional stillness that statues for nativity scenes have, but it almost seems to be able to imagine what this man is thinking and the emotions he is feeling. 100% made in Italy.
