It was painted around 1740, though we don‘t know for which church it was commissioned.\n\nSaint Joseph is slumped in a chair sleeping deeply, while the Virgin Mary kneels in adoration of the Christ Child: together they form the ’Earthly Trinity‘. Above, among glowing clouds, we see God the Father and the Holy Ghost in the form of a dove hovering above the infant Christ, making up the ’Heavenly Trinity'.\n\nColour distinguishes the heavenly realm from the earthly: Pittoni has contrasted the strong blues and greys of the draperies worn by the Virgin and Joseph with the pale tones of God and the angel. The heavenly realm is filled with ethereal light that falls on the holy family and the rustic, straw-filled manger.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/giovanni-battista-pittoni-the-nativity-with-god-the-father-and-the-holy-ghost\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - The Nativity with God the Father and the Holy Ghost\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giovanni Battista Pittoni","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509607796979,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (87 5\/8\" x 60 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509607829747,"sku":null,"price":7671.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (21 1\/2\" x 14 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509607862515,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (26 3\/8\" x 18 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509607895283,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (32 3\/8\" x 22 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509607928051,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (41 3\/4\" x 28 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509607960819,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (50 1\/8\" x 34 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509607993587,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (59\" x 40 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509608026355,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (70 7\/8\" x 49\")","offer_id":50509608059123,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/TheNativitywithGodtheFatherandtheHolyGhost.jpg?v=1788697773","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-nativity-with-god-the-father-and-the-holy-ghost-ngal664","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
