| Pulcinella, a popular commedia dell'arte character Photos by New York Scugnizzo |
As promised, I've waited until after the official unveiling of the "Nativity of Mercy" at Most Precious Blood Church in Manhattan before posting the photos I took during its installation on Saturday, Dec. 5th. Much of the artwork was still wrapped while I was visiting and speaking to the artists, but last night I witnessed the completed work and plan to share more photos soon. In addition to the traditional presepio figures, there are representations based on the paintings of Rembrandt and Caravaggio. For more information visit www.nativityofmercy.com
