Magi Wise Men 30 cm, nativity Tripi 3 pcs.
After a long journey the Three Kings arrive in the presence of Child Jesus: fatigue disappears from their faces and wonder takes its place. They offer gifts from distant lands, gold incense and myrrh. All the nativity scene figurines 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 of fabrics and terracotta ends (the head, hands and feet). In her works, the artist tells a story: each statue is depicted in a moment of their 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: her works will never be the same, making each piece one of a kind. Adapted for a 30 cm nativity scene.
