EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Caravaggio's renowned masterpiece, "Nativity with St. Francis and St. Lawrence" painted in 1609. The original painting, unfortunately stolen in 1969, was a testament to Caravaggio's exceptional talent as an artist during the Baroque period. The scene depicted is the adoration of the shepherds, a biblical event from the book of Luke. Set in Bethlehem, Judea, it captures the moment when angels descend upon a humble stable where baby Jesus lies in a manger. St. Francis and St. Lawrence stand beside him, their expressions filled with awe and reverence. Caravaggio's signature use of chiaroscuro technique is evident here - contrasting light and shadow dramatically emphasize each figure's emotions and create a sense of depth within the composition. The angelic figures glow ethereally against the dark background while illuminating Mary and Joseph who gaze lovingly at their newborn child. This print beautifully captures every intricate detail of Caravaggio's masterpiece – from delicate brushstrokes to vibrant colors that bring this biblical story to life once again. It serves as a reminder not only of Caravaggio’s extraordinary artistic skill but also his ability to evoke profound emotion through his work. Displayed proudly at Oratorio di San Lorenzo in Palermo, Sicily, Italy (as a copy), this image allows us to appreciate one of history’s greatest masterpieces despite its unfortunate absence due to theft many years ago.
