Alberto Tipa (Trapani 1732, 1783)
Waist Up Christ in Trapani pink alabaster. H 21 cm, 13 cm base.
"Belonging to the family of Tipa, whose initiator was the father of Joseph, he was a famous sculptor or rather virtuoso sculptor of minor works in ivory, amber and alabaster. This work is in pink alabaster torso of Trapani, commonly called embodied stone, was in fact worked to the particular rosy veins that tend similar to human skin. This work, an example of explicit delicacy and finesse, made in this particular material, expressed in a realistic way, with the pinky color, almost skin-like of alabaster, makes us appreciate the suffering and pain of Christ on the cross in a strog and realist way."
