Glory angel flying 30 cm, nativity Tripi

Glory angel flying 30 cm, nativity Tripi.
Nativity Glory angel in flight 30 cm, made at the artistic atelier of Angela Tripi in Sicily. The angel flies towards the shepherds to announce to everyone the happy event: the birth of our Savior. Delicate facial features and graceful movements, carrying a drape that heralds Glory. Angela Tripi manages to create nativity figurines characterized by an extraordinary expressive power with great skill. It must be remembered that these shepherds have their bodies completely formed, while normally, for example in the Neapolitan crib, they are built with a fabric skeleton to which the ends are applied. The statues of Angela Tripi instead have the terracotta body "dressed" in cloth. The peculiarity that makes these statues of the nativity unique is that they communicate with each other and with the observer through the look and the facial expression. Each nativity figurine is depicted at a precise and particular moment in their everyday life. Details such as muscles or expression lines, as well as hands in particular positions (open and with well-defined fingers) often emerge clearly. Angela Tripi succeeds in giving each shepherd an astonishing realism: her shepherds will never be equal to each other making each one unique. Adapted for a 30 cm nativity scene.
