Gabriel, Shepherd - Fontanini® 50" Lifesize Masterpiece Collection

Gabriel, Shepherd – Fontanini® 50" Lifesize Masterpiece Collection
Brand: House of Fontanini | Item #52351

Gabriel the shepherd is captured in a tender moment of devotion, gently carrying a lamb as he looks toward the miracle unfolding in Bethlehem. His expression reflects humility and wonder, while his flowing garments—hand-painted in warm, traditional hues—display the remarkable sculptural detail that defines Fontanini’s artistry. The natural movement of the drapery and the lifelike finish give this larger-scale figure a powerful sense of presence.

Part of the revered 50" Scale Institutional Collection, this statue is crafted in Italy using marble-based resin and finished entirely by hand. Designed for churches, chapels, and statement Nativity displays, Gabriel brings warmth, symbolism, and visual impact to any sacred setting. His pose beautifully conveys themes of care, faith, and reverence central to the Nativity story.

For over a century, Fontanini has preserved the Italian Nativity tradition begun in Bagni di Lucca, Tuscany. Today, House of Fontanini proudly carries that legacy forward from our Minnesota warehouse, sharing heirloom-quality pieces with collectors and families across generations. Our mission remains simple:

“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
