ANRI Nativity - Bernardi - Shepherd with Flute

ANRI Nativity Bernardi Set

A Musical Touch to Your Hand-Carved Nativity Scene (for 8" Set)

Shepherd with Flute is a beautifully expressive figure from the ANRI Bernardi Nativity collection, designed by renowned South Tyrolean sculptor Ulrich Bernardi. This touching figure captures a peaceful moment as a shepherd kneels and plays a wooden flute, adding a sense of music and celebration to the Nativity scene.

The shepherd is depicted kneeling reverently while playing his flute, his posture relaxed yet deeply focused. His softly flowing garments move naturally around his figure, with a green cloak draped over a warm earth-toned robe, reflecting Bernardi’s signature palette of natural colors and gentle shading.

His eyes are closed in concentration as he plays, suggesting a quiet offering of music in honor of the newborn Christ. The delicate carving of the hands, instrument, and flowing robe creates a lifelike sense of motion and emotion that defines the Bernardi style.

Expertly hand-carved from fine Alpine maple and carefully hand-painted by ANRI artisans in Italy, this figure reflects the exceptional craftsmanship and artistry that made ANRI nativity carvings beloved among collectors.

Part of the ANRI Bernardi Nativity series, this shepherd has become increasingly collectible since the closing of the ANRI workshop, making it a treasured addition to any Bernardi nativity display.
