Nativity Scene 8 pcs 18 cm Angela Tripi

Nativity Group Scene 18 cm 8 pcs Angela Tripi.
The Scene of the Birth of Jesus consists of 8 pieces for a nativity of 18 cm. Pieces are adapted for standing characters of 18 cm.
In a bare hut the Savior was born, lying in a small manger, warmed by the breath of animals. Mary looks at him with tenderness, while Joseph, still amazed, shows the Magi the Child. The three approach: on their faces we see the wonder mixed with a strong feeling of fear. One of them kneels in front of the cradle. Silence reigns, the intertwining glances speak. Every figure of Angela Tripi's scene is characterized by a strong attention to detail. The artist takes inspiration from the tradition of the ancient Arab world and, by re-elaborating the history and customs appropriately, comes to a personal interpretation of the characters of the time. While the traditional terracotta statues of the nativity scene are constructed starting from a skeleton frame covered with clothes to which the extremities are applied (head and limbs), the artist Angela Tripi's statues have a completely formed body: they are modeled nude and subsequently dressed with fabrics and small jewels, details capable of giving the statue an amazing realistic look. The artist manages to give personality, charisma and charm to the creations. Details such as; wrinkles, grins, tendons, tense muscles emerge clearly. Above all, while a traditional statue, through the static nature of a gesture remembers of a trade or a character, admiring these works you realize that there is a story behind those faces and those looks, a life, that Tripi does nothing but capture the essence of a particular time. The craftsmanship of each statue makes each piece always different and one of a kind.
