About the piece
Painted by the Italian master Guido Reni around 1640, this monumental work exemplifies the dramatic chiaroscuro of the High Baroque era. The composition centers on the radiant infant Christ, whose internal light illuminates the surrounding shepherds and the Virgin Mary, while a celestial host of angels descends from a dark, turbulent sky.
