About the piece
Painted in 1659 by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, this oil on copper masterpiece captures the Nativity with the artist's characteristic dynamism. The scene is anchored by the Virgin's brilliant blue robe and the radiant light of the Christ child, surrounded by earth-toned shepherds and ethereal angels descending from above.
