Created by the renowned Italian artist Parmigianino (Francesco Mazzola), this masterpiece measures 38.5x32 cm and is housed at the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford, UK. In this extraordinary study, Parmigianino brings to life the sacred moment of Christ's birth. The scene unfolds with grace and serenity as Mary cradles her newborn son while Joseph stands watchfully beside them. Angels hover above, their ethereal presence illuminating the humble stable where Jesus was born. The artist's meticulous sketching captures every detail with precision and sensitivity.
