A serene Neapolitan baroque nativity scene unfolds before us. In the center, a rustic stable beckons, its thatched roof and wooden walls adorned with vines and flowers. The manger, aglow with soft candlelight, cradles the infant Jesus, surrounded by his mother, Madonna, and Saint Joseph. Donkey and ox crouch at their feet, while above, a radiant star shines bright in the dark blue sky. In the foreground, shepherds approach, bearing gifts wrapped in wool, adorned with wooden toys and fragrant cheeses.
