"Langes: A Timeless Tradition of Swaddling and Serenity" Step into the world of langes, where centuries-old artistry meets the tender embrace of newborns. From the delicate strokes in "Portrait of the newborn Federigo di Urbino, 1605" to the vibrant hues in "The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, " these masterpieces capture a timeless practice. In "The Wet-Nurse, " we witness a nurturing bond as love flows from caregiver to child, echoing through generations. Swathed in softness, infants are cocooned within swaddling clothes - as depicted in Lyon's exquisite birth plate and stone sculpture titled "Child in swaddling clothes. " "The Birth of the Virgin" fresco transports us back to c. 1305, reminding us that this cherished tradition has been passed down for centuries, and is an art form that transcends time and culture; even Madonna and Child paintings like "Madonna and Child" from 1907-08 showcase their connection through gentle wrapping. Religious ceremonies come alive with langes too – whether it be a priest baptizing an infant or witnessing their presentation at the temple as seen in illustrations such as those found on vellum or champleve enamelwork panels like "Presentation in the Temple" or "The Nativity. " Finally, we find solace amidst shepherds adoring baby Jesus under starlit skies captured beautifully on canvas. In this serene scene known as "Adoration of The Shepherds, " one can almost feel the warmth emanating from each carefully wrapped bundle. They have stood steadfast throughout history – preserving comfort, security, and tenderness for countless little ones. As we gaze upon these artistic treasures depicting moments both sacred and intimate, let us celebrate this enduring tradition that cradles our precious babies with love since time immemorial.
