Berta Hummel was a brilliant artist with a rare gift for capturing the innocence and joy of the life she observed around her. She went on to join the Convent of Siessen, devoting her life to her art and her faith. The Berta Hummel Christmas ornament collection is an authentic Berta Hummel treasure inspired by the imagery of the artist. Goebel's master sculptors and painters have created these ornaments based on drawings carefully rendered to reflect Berta's artistic spirits. They are hand-crafted and hand-painted according to the time-honored standards that have distinguished the Goebel name since 1871.
The Berta Hummel Christmas Ornament collection is inspired by the prodigal early works of Berta Hummel renowned around the world as Sister M.I. Hummel. Even in her youth, her artistic talent for capturing the simple joys and winsome expressions of children was extraordinary. Berta Hummel's Christmas memories and boundless love for the children of her village are beautifully expressed in these timeless holiday ornaments. Cherish them at the holidays and year-round as the sentimental, heart-warming treasures they are.
