Shepherd with vegetables, 18cm by Angela Tripi.
The shepherd with vegetable baskets walks the village streets looking for buyers. He is trying to draw the attention to himself; his mouth is half-closed his mouth is half-closed and he looks like he about to shout.
Nativity scene figurine made by Italian artist Angela Tripi.
Each character is completely hand-made, different and therefore unique. The figurines are extraordinarily detailed, charismatics and expressive.
Angela's statues have a complete body: this means that the character is created naked and then is dressed with clothes(unlike other statuettes where only hands, feet and head are completely sculpted).
You will be able to notice particulars like the tense muscles, tendons and expression wrinkles. While looking at these small pieces of art, you will realise you are looking at the history of a man or woman, "captured" in a particular moment of their life.
