EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the Nativity from the Polyptych of Conversano, created in 1475 by Bartolomeo Vivarini and his workshop. The tempera on panel technique brings to life this exquisite piece of art, now housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In this scene, we are transported back to biblical times as we witness the birth of Jesus Christ. A sense of serenity fills the air as angels gracefully hover above, their celestial presence illuminating the stable where Mary cradles her newborn baby. The soft colors and delicate brushstrokes beautifully capture the tenderness and purity of this sacred moment. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element portrayed within this composition. From the humble stable block that serves as a makeshift shelter for Mary and Joseph, to the gentle animals surrounding them - donkeys and mules peacefully coexist with cows in their cowshed nearby. Shepherds stand watch over their flock outside, drawn towards this miraculous event by an ethereal light emanating from within. Their presence adds a touch of humility and simplicity to contrast with the divine nature unfolding before them. As viewers gaze upon this masterpiece through time, they are reminded not only of its artistic brilliance but also its profound religious significance. This polyptych exemplifies how art can transcend centuries while continuing to inspire awe and contemplation among those who behold it.
