Nativity

Nativity
by Francesco di Giorgio Martini
1490-95
Wood, 239 x 209 cm
San Domenico, Siena

Martini makes an interesting, if bizarre, choice to place the nativity in classical ruins.

You'd think he would give Squishy Jesus something a bit more comfortable than a broken off piece of building to recline on....
