EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Piero della Francesca's masterpiece, "The Nativity" created between 1470 and 1475. The artist beautifully captures the essence of this sacred moment in Christian history. In the center, dressed in a serene blue robe, the Virgin Mary kneels before her newborn son, Jesus Christ, who lies gently on the corner of her cloak. St Joseph sits nearby on a saddle, attentively listening to the shepherds' message. A touch of symbolism is added by a lone magpie perched on the stable roof—an omen that may foretell future sorrows. As singers and musicians serenade the child with their stringed instruments and lutes, an atmosphere of adoration fills the air. The scene is set within a humble stable where an ox and an ass peacefully reside. This depiction highlights not only Jesus' birth but also emphasizes his connection to nature and agriculture. Piero della Francesca's attention to detail is evident throughout this medieval artwork. The colors are richly vibrant while capturing both male and female figures engaged in various occupations—portraying a diverse range of people present at this significant event. "The Nativity" print from London's National Gallery collection serves as a powerful reminder of faith, family bonds, and motherhood during the fifteenth century. It immortalizes Saint Mary as Madonna—the virgin mother—and Saint Joseph as he plays his role in raising Jesus Christ—the savior of Christianity.
