EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lorenzo Lotto's masterpiece, "The Nativity" painted in 1527. The oil on panel artwork measures 56x46 cm and is currently housed at the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Siena, Italy. Lotto's painting beautifully depicts the biblical story of Mary Salome, one of the midwives present during Jesus' birth. In this particular scene, Mary Salome doubts the virginity of Mary and her arm shrivels when she touches her. However, a miraculous healing occurs as soon as she picks up the baby Jesus. The Renaissance artist skillfully captures this moment of doubt and subsequent redemption through his meticulous brushwork and attention to detail. The expressions on each character's face convey their emotions with remarkable clarity. "The Nativity" not only serves as a religious narrative but also exemplifies Lotto's artistic prowess during the Renaissance period. His use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition while his vibrant color palette enhances its overall beauty. This print allows viewers to appreciate every intricate aspect of Lotto's masterpiece from afar or up close. It offers an opportunity to delve into both art history and religious symbolism, making it a valuable addition for any fine art enthusiast or collector.
