About the piece

Painted in 1620 by Pieter Lastman, this work captures a moment of quiet repose for Mary, Joseph, and the infant Christ. Lastman, a key influence on Rembrandt, showcases his characteristic use of rich, saturated colors and dramatic lighting to elevate the biblical narrative into a vivid pastoral scene.
