EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century print, titled "The Nativity" by Mair von Landshut, transports us back to the humble stable where the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ took place. The intricately engraved image on ivory laid paper showcases a serene and peaceful scene, with the Virgin Mary cradling the newborn infant Jesus, surrounded by adoring shepherds and farm animals. In the background, Joseph looks on in awe, while the innkeeper and his wife, who had initially turned away the weary travelers, now kneel in prayer, seeking forgiveness. Angels, their wings outstretched, announce the birth of the Savior to the world, while the ox and donkey, traditional symbols of the humility and meekness of Christ, look on with reverence. The architectural details of the stable and the surrounding buildings add depth and texture to the scene, transporting us to a simpler time in history. This beautiful and historic artwork, created by Mair von Landshut in 1499, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Germany during the late Middle Ages. It is a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture the essence of the biblical story and to inspire awe and wonder in generations to come. Today, this precious piece can be found on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
