Lot 1121 | SEHR FEINE IKONE MIT DER GEBURT CHRISTI
A VERY FINE ICON OF THE NATIVITY OF CHRIST Greek, 16th century Tempera on a wood panel. Finely executed on a gold ground. The main event of the composition, the Birth of Christ, surrounded by a number of related episodes. The rocky cliffs functioning as natural dividers between the scenes. In the centre the Mother of God kneeling in front of the manger with the swaddled Child. The ox and ass warming the Infant with their breath. To the far left the Three Magi on horseback, wearing distinct Phrygian caps, pointing to the star issuing forth from the heavenly segment at the top of the image. A group of angels in the upper left corner. To the right another angel blessing a shepherd while delivering the Divine news. The lower left corner showing a shepherd delivering the message to St. Joseph, the latter portrayed in a pensive mood. The lower right side illustrating the Infant's first bath, with a maid pouring water into the basin and the other holding Christ. The saturated and bright colours of the figures accentuated by white brushstrokes, standing out against the muted, pastel tones of the landscape and the gold skies of the rhythmically structured composition. Vertical crack restored, minor losses. 32 x 25.8 cm.
