The Birth of Christ 

"The Birth of Christ" is a painting by French artist Henri Fantin-Latour, showcasing a depiction of the Nativity with a unique perspective. While the exact date of the artwork is unknown, its creation likely falls within the artist's prolific career between 1836 and 1904. The scene portrays the traditional figures of the Nativity – Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus – with a heavenly angel hovering above, offering a wreath of flowers. Fantin-Latour's style, known for its delicate brushstrokes and soft, muted colors, adds a sense of tenderness and serenity to this revered religious subject.
