Oil on canvas. Northern Italian school.
The depiction of the Nativity is seen here as a contemplative moment of the Holy Child, by Mary and Joseph, accompanied by little angels.
The pictorial methods take up those of widely replicated models, starting from Correggio, from Barocci, up to the numerous versions of Gherardo delle Notti, or the Flemish painter Gerard Von Honthorst, representative of tenebrism, a pictorial current that played on the strong contrasts of darkness and light, of light and dark.
Also in this work the light radiated by the Child Jesus illuminates the figures around Him and makes them emerge from the surrounding darkness.
The work, restored and relined, is presented in a 19th century frame.
