Die Geburt Christi

ca. 1406–10
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 952
Lorenzo Monaco, ein führender Florentiner Maler und Illustrator des frühen 15. Jhds., war ein Kamaldulensermönch, der die Erlaubnis hatte, außerhalb seines Klosters Santa Maria degli Angeli eine florierende Werkstatt zu betreiben. Die exquisiten üppigen und subtilen Harmonien dieses Gemäldes, einer seiner berühmtesten Arbeiten, spiegeln sein Können als Illustrator wider. Kompositionelle Elemente, wie das tiefe Dach des Stalles, sind gekonnt an die unregelmäßige Form der Vierpasstafel angepasst, die ursprünglich Teil der Predella eines Altarteiles war.
