Figurines Christ Birth

At the beginning of the 18th century, Meissen porcelain^® was a material for artistic craftsmanship that lived up to the intentions of Christian aesthetics like no other. The figure of every saint shone with a brilliance that made even the noblest marble pale in comparison and gave every sculpture an unprecedented elegance. In the religious scenes that Johann Joachim Kaendler created in an inimitable manner, passion and renunciation, sensuality and spirituality come together through flawless craftsmanship. Today, Meissen sacred art can concentrate on simply being beautiful and often following its purpose as a Christmas decoration. The "Nativity" is an incredibly detailed Christmas decoration that is a true work of art as a sculpture. The entire scene of the nativity scene is depicted as a figure and realized with the help of masterful Meissen craftsmanship. The white porcelain of the Christmas decoration depicts the scene with an elegant aesthetic. As an individual piece, the figurine enchants with its unobtrusive richness of detail, although it also shines in sculpture combinations.
