[Woodcarver] ?Nativity Scene?

[Ivan Whillock]

Sally,

I would guess that Helmut Mayr is well acquainted with the Crib carvers and their associations.  Stefan Lanthaler is from Fulpmes, as I recall.  I'm sure Heli would know him.

A truly amazing Crib Scene is Diorama Bethlehem, at the following:

  Ivan, thanks for that most informative note. 
  It brings a new perspective to "the Nativity" in it's entirety.  Yes, it was a real place within a village.
  Lovely carving!

    saw one amazing scene by Lanthaler that was a few feet deep, but looked
    like it stretched for miles because of the unique perspective the artist
    used, reducing the relative size of the figures along a vanishing point.


    The site below, though in German, will show some of the work and give
    interested Crib, Crèche, Krippen carvers other links they can explore:
