Jesus with Manger – 20" Masterpiece Collection

Brand: House of Fontanini | Item #: 53413

At the heart of every Nativity stands the Christ Child — the promise fulfilled on that Holy Night in Bethlehem. The Jesus with Manger – 20" Masterpiece Collection (Item 53413) beautifully captures Infant Jesus resting peacefully with arms gently outstretched in welcome. His tender expression, delicately sculpted features, and carefully hand-painted eyes reflect both innocence and divinity.

The richly textured manger is finished in layered tones of warm ivory and soft gold, framing the Child in a reverent glow that draws the eye inward. Every fold of His white garment and every strand of sculpted straw has been thoughtfully detailed, making this piece the emotional and spiritual centerpiece of your 20" scale Nativity display.

Crafted in Italy and designed for institutional or large-scale settings, this heirloom-quality 2-piece set features a removable Infant Jesus figure — allowing for meaningful Advent anticipation and Christmas Day placement. Whether displayed in a church, chapel, school, or grand home setting, this Masterpiece Collection figure radiates timeless beauty and devotion.

The Fontanini Heritage

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the hills of Tuscany, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first shop in 1908. From humble beginnings, the family business has grown into a world-renowned creator of heirloom-quality Nativity sets and figurines. Each figure is meticulously sculpted, molded, and hand-painted by skilled artisans in a multi-generational, family-guided process.

Today, House of Fontanini proudly carries on that tradition — offering direct retail and e-commerce access to these beloved pieces. For over 25 years, we have been a locally owned Minnesota small business that not only sells Fontanini — we love it too. From our Minnesota warehouse, we continue our mission:

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

Please note, the larger Masterpiece Collection (18" to 70" pieces) is typically stocked, but due to the intricate details and highter cost, some items are on a special order basis.  Please allow up to 120 days for the item to be sent from the workshop in Tuscany.  If you would like to check the availability, call our Parish Sales department at 507-469-9659 or email us.  We will gladly check for you!
