Description

This is my fourth post of santons, there will be one more, then I will come back to comic drawings. In the first one, Little santons (Christmas statues), I explained the historical origin of these Southern France traditional figures, the origin of which is more than two centuries old. This joiner, as the nativity and the card players of my last posts, are of the big variety, which is exquisity detailed. Best viewed full size. All comments welcome. If you have not seen my card players scene, this is a direct link:

And the winner is..., for Ledwolorz

Techdata: Nikon D70 with Micro-Nikkor 2.8/60, 1/60s at f/9, available light, aperture priority automatic, tungsten light balance, 1250 ISO. No postwork except a slight color adjustment in Photoshop to match the two pictures.

Interesting detail! I especially like the wood shavings and tools on the work bench. DO give us some more like this. DPH

Très réaliste le santon! J'ai vu, il y a plusieurs années au musée ethnologique de Innsbrück, des villages entiers - en modèles réduits - créés au XIX et au début du XX pour fêter Noël. Les scènes de genres étaient moins précises que celles de certaines crèches ( à cause de l'échelle ) mais c'est d'un intérêt capital pour l'architecture traditionnelle.

L'attention que portent ces artistes aux plus petits détails devrait vraiment être une source d'inspiration pour nous autres. C'est très impressionnant!

Ce menuisier a fière allure, j'ai visité ta galerie de santons, et toutes les photos font preuve de ton expérience avec la lumière et les cadrages. Magnifique, Edouard.
