EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created by the renowned German painter Albrecht Altdorfer around 1513, depicts the Nativity scene from the Bible. The image captures the peaceful and serene moment as Jesus Christ, lying in the manger, is surrounded by the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and various angels and cherubs. The figures are rendered with great detail and emotion, with Mary's gentle gaze fixed on her newborn son, and Joseph's quiet reverence as he looks on. The angels, with their outstretched wings and joyful expressions, add a sense of awe and wonder to the scene. The print, which is believed to have been produced as an illustration for a Bible or devotional text, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Christian faith and the artistic traditions of the 16th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is home to this precious work, which continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
