Scene: Announcement to the Shepherds, 30 cm - Angela Tripi.
In the dark of the night three shepherds try to rest, when suddenly a light approaches: an angel. This richly dressed and full of grace figure turns to them to announce the birth of Jesus. The three shepherds are dismayed, amazed and incredulous. All the statues are handmade, in terracotta and fabric, then meticulously painted by hand. These are real works of art made with skill and attention at Angela Tripi's artistic atelier. Normally the statues of the traditional nativity scene, for example the Neapolitan one, are made with a skeleton, fabrics, and terracotta ends (the head, hands and feet). Instead, the statues of the artist Angela Tripi have completely formed bodies: they are modeled naked and then dressed with fabrics and small jewels. In her works the artist tells a story: each statue is depicted in a moment of their life, thus managing to make us understand the existence of a before and after. Angela Tripi manages to give each nativity statue an amazing realism, never seen before and unrepeatable: no two works will ever be the same, rending them unique. THE CHARACTERS COULD DIFFER FROM THE PHOTO AS EVERY SCULPTURE IS A UNIQUE PIECE, BY CHOICE FROM THE ARTIST.
