EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century print titled "The Nativity" depicts the iconic biblical scene of Jesus' birth. In this exquisite artwork, Joseph tenderly sits beside Mary, who lies on a bed with their newborn son, Jesus, wrapped in swaddling bands. Behind them loom the gentle heads of an ox and ass, symbolizing the humble stable where this miraculous event took place. The guiding star that led the three wise men or magi to witness this divine moment shines brightly above. Crafted using champlevé enamel on copper gilt, this masterpiece is housed at London's prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum. Its intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the profound significance of this sacred occasion. The artist's identity remains unknown but their skillful portrayal captures the essence of Christian faith and devotion. "The Nativity" evokes a sense of awe as it portrays not only a religious narrative but also highlights themes of family, motherhood, and love. It serves as a powerful reminder of the central figure in Christianity – Jesus Christ – alongside his earthly parents: St Joseph and Virgin Mary. This remarkable print invites viewers to reflect upon the beauty and wonder surrounding Christ's birth while honoring its historical roots within 15th-century artistry.
