About the piece
Painted in 1689 by Jan Erasmus Quellinus, this Nativity scene captures a moment of quiet reverence. The infant Jesus glows with a divine light that illuminates the faces of Mary and Joseph, while an ox and donkey look on from the shadows of the stable. In the background, shepherds are shown receiving the celestial message from an angel, creating a layered narrative within a rich, atmospheric composition typical of the Flemish Baroque style.
