Holy Family 3 piece set 30 cm, nativity Tripi

Holy Family 3 piece set 30 cm, nativity Tripi.
Mary kneels before her Son with an expression of wonder and tenderness. Joseph instead remains standing and leaning on his stick, expresses his wonder by putting his hand to his chest. Their eyes are turned to Baby Jesus: small and helpless yet so great. 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 his 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 an amazing realism, never seen before and unrepeatable. Adapted for a 30 cm nativity scene.
