Wise kingi on elephant, 13 cm Angela Tripi Nativity Scene.
The Moor Magi statue arrives before the Savior to worship him and offers him a gift. He is dressed in regal, finely worked clothes.He has a tired look and, despite the long journey, serenity and wonder can be read on his face.Each nativity figurine of Angela Tripi's nativity scene is characterized by a wealth of details, charisma and expressive power.While the terracotta statues of the traditional nativity scene are built from a skeleton covered with clothes to which the extremities of the limbs (hands, feet and head) are applied, the statues of the artist Angela Tripi have completely formed bodies: they are modeled naked and subsequently they are dressed, with the treated fabrics the body, giving the statue itself an amazing realism.Often details such as expression lines, tendons, tense muscles, fingers of open and defined hands clearly emerge.And above all, while a traditional statue, through the static nature of a gesture, recalls a craft or a character, admiring these works, you realize that there is always a before and after, and you are faced with the story of a man or of a woman, photographed by the artist at a particular moment in their life.
