EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Nativity" by renowned Italian artist Piero della Francesca. Created between 1470 and 1475, this tempera on panel painting is a true masterpiece of the Renaissance era. The composition depicts a serene scene of the birth of Jesus Christ, with the central figures being the Madonna (Virgin Mary) and baby Jesus. In this unfinished version, we see an intriguing addition to the traditional nativity scene - a musical performance taking place in the stable. A magpie perched on a branch seems to be captivated by the angelic voices singing hymns of praise. The presence of angels surrounding Mary adds an ethereal touch to this sacred moment. The attention to detail is remarkable, from delicate brushstrokes that bring life-like qualities to each figure, including their facial expressions and flowing garments, to the meticulously painted landscape in the background. The use of vibrant colors further enhances its visual impact. Housed at London's National Gallery, this iconic artwork continues to inspire viewers with its spiritual significance and artistic brilliance. Its timeless beauty transports us back in time as we marvel at Piero della Francesca's mastery in capturing both human emotion and divine grace within one frame.
