The artwork, created in 1467 using tempera and oil on wood, measures an impressive 144.8x96.2 cm and is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Originally part of an altarpiece commissioned for the church of Santa Maria della Bella in Urbino, this particular scene depicts Saint Anne lying naked in bed as she has just given birth to Mary. The composition beautifully captures the tender moment between mother and child, emphasizing their sacred bond. The painting's intricate details are noteworthy; from the classical architecture surrounding them to the lush garden visible through a portico in the background. Carnevale's skillful use of perspective adds depth to this religious tableau while highlighting his mastery over both architectural and figurative elements. "The Birth of the Virgin" exemplifies Italian Renaissance art with its meticulous attention to detail and harmonious color palette. It serves as a testament to Carnevale's talent as well as his ability to convey religious narratives with grace and beauty.
