Verified profile

The sacred scene takes place inside a hut: two shepherds, accompanied and encouraged by two angels, offer the Child their gift, a lamb, a symbol of divine sacrifice. The Madonna, on her knees, contemplates her son absorbed while Joseph, behind her, watches over. Everything is apparently simple: from the placement in the space of the characters, arranged on different levels, to the transformation of the symbolic motifs into naturalistic elements, of extraordinary emotional suggestion. The human and divine characters and the animals are equally linked to the same intimate participation. The ancient provenance of the work is unknown, we know that it became part of the collection of the famous Brescia collector Paolo Tosio for a purchase between 24 August and 5 January 1825.
