A Renaissance Christmas!

A mid 14th C Tabernacle in Ivory depicting the Annunciation, Visitation & Nativity with Joseph holding the baby


'Madonna of Tarquinia' by Filippo Lippi 1447


'Adoration of the Magi' - Sandro Botticelli 1475 with depictions of the Medici fmaily members; Piero, Giovanni, Guiliano & Lorenzo (the Magnificent)


'The Nativity' in the Scrovegni Cappella a Padova - Giotto di Bondone


Whilst it is Christmas Day tomorrow i thought that a selection of Nativity scenes spanning the Renaissance in Italy would be apt!

Merry Christmas!
