About the piece

Painted around 1710 by Henry Ferguson, this work presents a complex 'capriccio' or fantasy landscape. In the center, a massive stone structure displays a bas-relief of the Nativity, topped by a reclining classical figure, while Saint Carlo Borromeo appears below in his distinctive red vestments amidst a gathering of varied figures in a twilight setting.
