Three King standing white, 18 cm Angela Tripi

Three King standing, 18 cm Angela Tripi.
After a long journey the Wise Man has arrived at the Savior's presence: with his face full of wonder and emotion he looks at him. The expression of the face and the position of the body transmit the emotions of the moment. All the nativity statues are handmade, in terracotta and cloth, with skill and attention.Angela Tripi, a world renown artist, creates beautiful figurines characterized by an extraordinary wealth of details, charisma and expression.A very important peculiarity is that the statues of Angela Tripi have completely formed bodies. Normally, terracotta statues of the traditional nativity scene, for example the Neapolitan one, are built from a skeleton covered with fabrics to which the head, hands and feet are applied.Instead, the statues of Tripi have terracotta bodies "dressed" in cloth.In her works, the artist tells a story: each statue is depicted at a specific moment in their life, telling us a before and after of that moment.Details such as tense muscles, tendons, expression lines and hands (open and with well-defined fingers) emerge clearly.Angela Tripi succeeds in giving each statue an amazing realism, never seen before and unrepeatable: her statues will never be equal to each other, making every piece unique. The nativity shepherd statue is adapted for a 18 cm scene.
