Alessandro in Brescia. The high altar was the responsibility of the Confraternity of Corpus Christi – a lay brotherhood which venerated the body of Christ – so this depiction of Christ was of central importance. It would have been placed directly above the tabernacle in which the Eucharist was kept.\n\nThe church was dedicated to Saint Alexander, whose relics were kept there, and to the Virgin Mary, mother of God, so she also has a prominent position. Her mantle is embroidered with gold fleur-de-lis ornaments, the symbol of Saint Alexander.\n\nMary and her husband Joseph kneel in adoration before the infant Christ. The scene is watched by the ox and donkey and by a throng of rejoicing baby angels. Two of them hold an inscribed scroll, suggesting the annunciation of Christ’s birth to the shepherds, who appear in the middle distance among their sheep.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/girolamo-romanino-the-nativity\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - The Nativity\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Girolamo Romanino","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509625622771,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (104 3\/8\" x 46 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509625655539,"sku":null,"price":6981.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (26 7\/8\" x 11 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509625688307,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (33\" x 14 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509625721075,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (40 3\/8\" x 17 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509625753843,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (52 1\/8\" x 23 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509625786611,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (62 1\/2\" x 27 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509625819379,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (73 3\/4\" x 32 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509625852147,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (88 3\/8\" x 39\")","offer_id":50509625884915,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/TheNativity2_a158b63c-357c-47ca-a07f-c43f4247b0ce.jpg?v=1789253277","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-nativity-ngal709","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
