About
Repetition of the large-format work in the National Museum in Seville, of which several examples are known. The quality of the painting probably points to a Spanish artist of distinction at the end of the 17th century. Murillo has deliberately placed the biblical events in chiaroscuro, with the light emanating from the child lying on a white sheet, and the tall format with the sky stretching far upwards is intended to point to the divine reference. In contrast to the Murillo model, the individual figures and faces are very distinctive here. Oil on canvas , 61 x 43.5 cm
