DESCRIPTION: NATIVITY. The painting shows a scene, perfectly developed both in depth and horizontally that focuses on many points in the representation: Mary holds proudly out a strong, beautiful baby boy for the shepherds to see, but Jesus doesn?t seem to be in the centre of attention, as much as Mary herself. In fact the point where all the gazes seem to meet puts the child in a secondary position suggesting the artists? wish to underline the roll and importance of Mary. The composition is also well developed in depth where we see a striking landscape, which with its bright colours and together with the features of the characters and the structure of the composition itself makes us considerate this painting a production of Belgian appearance.
AGE: second half of the XVIII century.
ARTIST: unsigned
MEDIUM: oil on canvas
SIZE: with the frieze cm 52 x 37; inches 20,4 x 14,5

CONDITION: The painting is in a discrete state of conservation: shows a thick net of cracquelers , but no lacks in the colour.
