Nativity of Christ, Germany 17 Cent.
The Ran Collection
The story of Christ's birth starts from the Caesar Augustus' decree that all the human population is supposed to be counted, every one of his or her own city. Joseph, the future father of Christ, also went up from Galilee, out of Nazareth into Judea, to the city of David, Bethlehem, to be counted with Mary, who expected her child very soon. Mary was in labor while on the road, and the family was looking for place to stay, but because there was no room for them in the inn, Mary delivered her firstborn child in a manger. There were shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. The angel came upon them and said, "Fear not; for behold, I bring you good things of great joy, which shall be to all men. A Saviour is born this day in the city of David. And this shall be a sigh to you. You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." Shepherds went and asked, "Where is he that is born King? For we have seen the star in the East, in Bethlehem." And the star went before them all, and stood over where the child was. And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph and a child, lying in a manger. Nativity is among most favorite holy events of Christianity. Scores of artist through out the world and of different times were and are with a great joy paint the nativity scenes. The work by Katrin Schwarz is done in 2008, in Israel. There is a replica from the old German painting of 17th century.
The painting has a certificate of traditional Byzantine icon reproduction, with the remark: Nazareth - Jerusalem - Bethlehem - Holy Land. High technique and excellent quality of this small miniature of 2008 make the Nativity scene the beautiful example of Katrin Schwarz's art.
