Description
The birth of Christ Master of the Bruns Wijkse Diptych ca 1490 ca 1500
Christ’s Nativity, with Mary, Joseph and three angels, is set in an improvised stable beside a ruin. The painter followed the account of the event given by St Bridget of Sweden in her Revelationes of c. 1370. According to that text, when Mary felt the moment nearing she took off her cloak and veil, knelt down and began to pray. While praying with her hands raised, the Child was born suddenly, surrounded by a radiance so bright that it made the flame of Joseph’s candle invisible.
