Detailed description

Woodcarving "The Ulrich Shepherd Nativity", 15-pcs.

The Val Gardena has been a centre of wood sculpture for over 250 years. In the middle of the 19th century, the first wood sculptors from Val Gardena found their way to art academies. To this day, traditional arts and crafts skills are combined with academic training. This is also the case with Ulrich Perathoner, who comes from a family with a long tradition of wood sculpture and has perfected his art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, among other places.

His realisation of the "Ulrich Shepherd Nativity" bears witness to his mastery. It remains in the traditional peasant style and shows unique craftsmanship: Perathoner forms filigree, expressive figurines from sycamore maple wood that has been air-dried for years. Moreover, he paints them by hand up to the smallest detail. Each figurine is a unique piece.

The complete set includes "Holy Family: Mary, Joseph and the Holy Child", "Three Shepherds", "Ox, Donkey, Sheep, Goat and Dog", "Magi" and the stable.

Size of the stable 27 x 58 x 27 cm (h/w/d). Height of the largest figure "Joseph" 10 cm.
