This expressive & moving image of the Nativity is presented in rich colors and traditional style, exquisitely framed in gold, for a timeless elegance that compliments any style of décor. 

It was painted by Italian Renaissance master Sandro Boticelli in 1500.  It combines Christ's birth as told in the New Testament with a vision of his Second Coming as promised in the Book of Revelation. The Second Coming - Christ's return to earth - would herald the end of the world and the reconciliation of devout Christians with God.

The twelve angels at the top of the painting represent the twelve hours in a day, and the twelve months of the year. The angels on the roof represent faith, hope, and charity, dressed in the corresponding white, red, and green robes. Other angels are pulling people out of a state of religious limbo, saving them from demons.

The words on the angels' ribbons, which cannot be seen except with infrared refletography, correspond to the twelve privileges of the Blessed Virgin.

At the center, the work features the adoration of the Newborn King by Mary and Joseph, who covers his head in awe, and it reminds us that Christ Himself is the fulfilment of the promise.

Symbolic, meaningful, & holy art for home, and a beautiful piece to display at Christmas, or any time of year.
