A Natividade

ca. 1406–10
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 952
Lorenzo Monaco, um dos mais importantes pintores e iluminadores florentinos do início do século XV, era um monge camaldulense que foi autorizado a administrar uma loja próspera fora do mosteiro de Santa Maria degli Angeli. O grande requinte e delicadeza de tons harmoniosos desta pintura, uma das obras mais famosas do artista, refletem sua habilidade como iluminador. Alguns elementos da composição, como o telhado inclinado da cabana, foram habilmente adaptados à forma irregular do painel quadrifólio, que em sua origem formava parte da predela de um retábulo.
