From Nativity To Adoration Illuminates Renaissance Light
Paintings tracing the Nativity era show the shift from Middle Ages to Renaissance. Works include Petrus Christus Nativity (c.1446–50) from the National Gallery of Art Washington and Giovanni di Paolo Adoration of the Magi from the Mellon Collection. Fra Angelico and Fra Filippo Lippi’s Adoration completes the trio, drawn from the Samuel H. Kress collection.
