Nativity by Jean-Baptiste Marie Pierre (December 25th)

Categories: Advent Calendar, French

An Advent Calendar is technically supposed to end on December 24th, but I couldn’t resist posting one final image. It is, of course, the Nativity. This is probably the easiest subject in the world to find paintings of, but I really struggled to find just the right one to feature here. It is by French artist Jean-Baptiste Marie Pierre (1714-1789).

I hope all of you have enjoyed my Advent Calendar. If you missed any posts or want to look at them again, you will always be able to find all the links here. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

An important note

Art history is an inherently subjective field, and my perspective isn’t the only one. I encourage all my readers to seek out differing opinions and read multiple sources to get a broader and more complete view of this complex and fascinating field of study. Read my disclaimers for more information.
