Angel announcing to shepherds 18 cm, Tripi

Angel announcing to shepherds 18 cm, Tripi.
The angel of the announcement is presented to the shepherds during the night to wake them up and alert them to the birth of the Savior. It symbolizes the awakening of men both from the sleep of the mind and from the physical numbness. All the nativity statues are handmade, in terracotta and cloth, with skill and care by the Sicilian artist, Angela Tripi. Normally the statues of the traditional nativity scene, for example the Neapolitan one, are made with a skeleton made with fabrics and with the ends in terracotta (the head, hands and feet). In her 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 amazing realism, never seen before and unrepeatable: her works will never be the same, making each one unique. Adapted for an 18 cm nativity scene.
