The events surrounding the birth of Christ have almost certainly provided the world's artists with more inspiration than any other subject. This book brings together some of the finest of those representations, from the earliest Renaissance to the more elaborate, but no less moving, paintings of the late baroque. Relevant texts drawn from Scripture link the forty paintings, each one in full color, to make this not simply a collection of fine art but also a simple retelling of this remarkable story.
