About the Item

Exceptional 16th-century Neapolitan nativity scene, framed by a gilded frame with elegant marbled details in shades of green. The exquisitely decorated frame lends depth and prestige to the work, highlighting its sacred character and excellent craftsmanship. The characters, skillfully modeled in wax, are immersed in a rich and complex setting, made of fine materials and meticulous details that include architectural and natural elements. The dynamic and theatrical composition reflects early influences of the pre-Baroque style, foreshadowing the sumptuousness of 17th-century Neapolitan art. A rare example of sacred art, perfectly preserved, celebrating Neapolitan tradition and craftsmanship. Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts.
