EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Nativity" painting, created around 1460 by the Netherlandish School. The artwork, measuring 94x92.1 cm, is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, USA. This masterpiece depicts a significant moment from Christian tradition - the birth of Jesus Christ. Painted on wood with a gold ground, this panel radiates divine beauty and reverence. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke and gilded element present throughout the composition. The scene unfolds within a stable where Joseph stands beside Mary, who cradles baby Jesus tenderly. Surrounding them are various figures including an ox and an ass symbolizing humility and purity respectively. A midwife can also be seen witnessing this miraculous event unfold before her eyes. "The Nativity" captures the essence of devotion and faith found within Christianity's core teachings. It serves as a visual representation of one of the most pivotal moments in biblical history - when God became man for humanity's salvation. This Flemish masterpiece hails from South Netherlands (Flanders) during the 15th century, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. Its presence at the Metropolitan Museum allows visitors to experience its profound spiritual impact firsthand while paying homage to both religious artistry and historical significance.
