La Natividad

ca. 1406–10
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 952
Lorenzo Monaco fue uno de los pintores e iluminadores florentinos más importantes de principios del siglo XV. Era monje camaldulense, aunque estaba autorizado a dirigir un próspero taller fuera de su monasterio de Santa Maria degli Angeli. Las ricas y sutiles armonías tonales de esta pintura, una de sus obras más célebres, reflejan su talento como iluminador. Los elementos compositivos, como el tejado inclinado del cobertizo, están hábilmente adaptados a la forma irregular del panel cuadrifolio, que en su origen formaba parte de la predela de un retablo.
