| Caravaggio, "Adorazione dei Pastori"(1609) |
Renowned for its artistic realism, Caravaggio's nativity depicts a humble birth, lit as if by a single candle. Caravaggio was revolutionary because he depicted with simplicity what others had glorified with glamour.

Wishing all who read and comment here the Christmas blessing of Light and Love!
